chromatid
(redirected from Chromatids)

    Also found in: Dictionary/thesaurus, Encyclopedia, Wikipedia 0.01 sec.
chromatid /chro·ma·tid/ (kro´mah-tid) either of two parallel, spiral filaments joined at the centromere which make up a chromosome.
chro·ma·tid (krm-td)
n.
Either of the two daughter strands of a duplicated chromosome that are joined by a single centromere and separate during cell division to become individual chromosomes.
chromatid
[krō′mətid]
Etymology: Gk, chroma, color
one of the two identical, threadlike filaments of a chromosome. Chromatids are produced by the self-replication of the chromosome during interphase and are held together by a common centromere. During anaphase of mitosis and meiosis II, the chromatids separate to become daughter chromosomes.
chromatid [kro´mah-tid]
either of two parallel filaments joined at the centromere that make up a chromosome and that divide in cell division, each going to a different pole of the dividing cell and each becoming a chromosome of one of the two daughter cells.
chromatid
either of two parallel filaments joined at the centromere which make up a chromosome, and which divide in cell division, each going to a different pole of the dividing cell and each becoming a chromosome of one of the two daughter cells.
sister chromatid
a chromatid formed by a replicating chromosome during interphase; because they are derived from the one homolog and joined at the center they are exact copies of each other.

The appearance of a chromosome-type break, where two sister chromatids are broken at the same site, might be attributable to failure of HR to complete DSB repair, leading to the occurrence of a DSB in the other intact sister chromatid during the condensation of chromosome towards the M phase (Sonoda et al.

In addition, we found that, although sister chromatids enter meiosis in very close proximity to one another, Pds5 acts to inhibit synapsis between them, a good thing because, then, meiotic conditions support the necessary pairing of homologs," he added.
