  • Sister Chromatids: Understanding Replicated Chromosomes
    The term given to each chromosome in a doubled or replicated pair is sister chromatids.

    Here's a breakdown:

    * Chromosomes are long, thread-like structures made of DNA that contain genetic information.

    * Replication is the process by which DNA copies itself before cell division.

    * Sister chromatids are the two identical copies of a chromosome that are joined together at the centromere after replication.

    During cell division, the sister chromatids separate, and each new cell receives one chromatid from each pair.
