They analyze the sequence of bases in the DNA to determine who committed a crime.
Chromatids are only called as chromatids when they are sister chromatids, meaning that when chromosome have two double stranded DNA attached together, each of the double stranded DNA is a sister chromatid, and while the whole thing (the two sister chromatids that are attached together) is called a chromosome.
So after the DNA has been replicated, the chromosome consist of 2 sister chromatids, attached to each other at their centromere.
Overall, sister chromatid is one of the two double stranded DNA in a replicated chromosome, and chromosome is the whole "X" shape that we see. For example, in humans, after the S phase of interphase in the cell cycle, we have 46 chromosomes, with 92 chromatids, since each chromosome is an "X" shape, by having two sister chromatids.
Hope this helps!
She introduced at least one confounding variable.- She tried to test multiple hypotheses at a time
In the above mentioned experiment she had to have four samples to prove
four hypotheses, each one separately and not to mix two hypotheses in an alone
sample, that what it brings as consequence is the confusion.
