Detailed explanation-1: -A sister chromatid refers to the identical copies (chromatids) formed by the DNA replication of a chromosome, with both copies joined together by a common centromere. In other words, a sister chromatid may also be said to be ‘one-half’ of the duplicated chromosome. A pair of sister chromatids is called a dyad.

Detailed explanation-2: -Chromosomes have proteins called histones that bind to DNA. DNA has two strands that twist into the shape of a spiral ladder called a helix. DNA is made up of four building blocks called nucleotides: adenine (A), thymine (T), guanine (G), and cytosine (C).

Detailed explanation-3: -Each chromatid will have two strands of DNA, resulting in four strands of DNA (or two DNA molecules) on the chromosome during the cell division.
