Chromatid (Greek khrōmat- 'color' + -id) is one copy of a newly copied chromosome which is still joined to the original chromosome by a single centromere.
Before replication, one chromosome is composed of one DNA molecule. Following replication, each chromosome is composed of two DNA molecules; in other words, DNA replication itself increases the amount of DNA but does not increase the number of chromosomes. The two identical copies—each forming one half of the replicated chromosome—are called chromatids.[1]During the later stages of cell division these chromatids separate longitudinally to become individual chromosomes.[2]
Chromatid pairs are normally genetically identical, and said to be homozygous; however, if mutation(s) occur, they will present slight differences, in which case they are heterozygous. The pairing of chromatids should not be confused with the ploidy of an organism, which is the number of homologous versions of a chromosome.
Chromonema is the fibre-like structure in prophase in the primary stage of DNA condensation. In metaphase, they are called chromatids.
The most important differences between a transmission electron microscope and a scanning electron microscope are: Rather than the broad static beam used in TEM, the SEM beam is focused to a fine point and scans line by line over the sample surface in a rectangular raster pattern

Endocyrosis and exocytosis are types of bulk transport
Answer:
When ocean salt water evaporates, the salt in the water is left in the water. This causes the salt water to become heavily filled with salt.
Explanation:
<span>Particularly the skeletal muscles at rest
gain most of their energy from the aerobic respiration of fatty acids. Hence
fatty acids provide the majority of the energy for muscle metabolism when a
person is exercising at 25% of VO2max. However, the motor neuron is at rest
when a neuron is not receiving any input there will be a potential difference.
Thus, the potential difference measured when the neuron is inactive and it is
caled the resting membrane potential. </span>
