Study Notes
Chromatid Overview
- Metaphase chromosomes consist of two identical parts called chromatids.
- The point where the two chromatids are joined is known as the centromere.
Chromatid Separation
- Chromatids separate during mitotic anaphase and anaphase II of meiosis.
- Upon separation, chromatids move towards opposite poles of the cell.
Sister vs. Non-Sister Chromatids
- Sister chromatids are created by the replication of a single chromatid during the synthesis (S) phase of interphase.
- Non-sister chromatids refer to the chromatids of homologous chromosomes, which are not identical to each other.
