chromatids

during meiosis, homologous chromatids pair up to form bivalents.

the separation of sister chromatids occurs during anaphase.

replicated chromatids are visible as x-shaped structures.

crossing over exchanges genetic material between non-sister chromatids.

kinetochores attach to the centromere of each chromatid.

the movement of chromatids is driven by spindle fibers.

errors in chromatid segregation can lead to aneuploidy.

metaphase ensures proper alignment of chromatids on the metaphase plate.

condensed chromatids are easily visualized under a microscope.

each chromatid contains a dna double helix.

the duplication of chromatids happens during the s phase of the cell cycle.
