WHAT DOES CHROMATID MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Chromatid

A chromatid is one copy of a duplicated chromosome, which generally is joined to the other copy by a centromere, for the process of cellular division. They are normally identical but may have slight differences in the case of mutations, in which case they are heterozygous. They are called sister chromatids so long as they are joined by the centromeres. When they separate, the strands are called daughter chromosomes. Before replication, one chromosome is composed of one DNA molecule and after there are two DNA molecules. This is because DNA replication increases the amount of DNA and does not increase the number of chromosomes. In other words, a chromatid is "one-half of two identical copies of a replicated chromosome". The two copies may have slight differences due to mutations. A chromatid is simply a copied chromosome which is paired with a identical chromosome at the centromere. It should not be confused with the ploidy of an organism, which is the number of homologous versions of a chromosome.

Definition of chromatid in the English dictionary

The definition of chromatid in the dictionary is either of the two strands into which a chromosome divides during mitosis. They separate to form daughter chromosomes at anaphase.
