1 answer:
marta [7]3 years ago

A cell division is a cellular process called mitosis which includes the division of a parent cell and the production of two identical daughter cells. Mitosis is very important in the developmental stages since it helps the developing organism to fastly produce all the new cells needed.

When a person becomes an adult, the growth process has been completed, yet the mitotic divisions continue to happen. That is because the human body needs cell division to replace old, worn-out cells and dying cells. Also, cell division is needed to repair any injuries or destructions.

What are chromatids and how do they differ from chromosomes
Molodets [167]
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!
