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.

How does a ring species illustrate speciation in action?

NikAS [45]

Answer:

Speciation occurs at terminal population groups

Explanation:

A ring species represents a group of organism that has moved beyond a geographic barrier to produce a ring shaped distribution. This population is contiguous and there exists no barrier to gene flow anywhere in the ring except at the terminal populations.

Speciation is demonstrated in the terminal population has become sympatric and it does not interbreed even if they are connected by chain of intergrading or interbreeding populations

dexar [7]

Answer:

D. It is a process of change during which species in a community are established or replaced

Explanation:

Ecological succession is a process that occurs when a community is being established or replaced.

It shows the change in community over time, focusing on the types of plants and the maturity of plants that are in the community.

Primary and secondary succession are the two types of succession. Primary succession shows the process of change in the establishment of a community. Secondary succession shows the change when a community is being replaced.

So, the correct answer is D. It is a process of change during which species in a community are established or replaced
