Two pairs of chromatids lying side by side are referred to as a tetrad.
The point of attatchment between two chromatids is called the centromere. When two chromatids are connected, it is called a chromosome which is essential in DNA replication, or, mitosis.
Trapezoids have only one pair of parallel sides. A parallelogram has two pair of parallel sides.
A trapezoid has one pair of parallel side and can have two adjacent angles that are right.
centromere
They have two pairs of sides that are parallel. Trapeziums have exactly one pair of sides that are parallel.
1 centromere for every pair of chromatids
Somatic cell chromosome is made of two identical chromatids
A chromosome pair, as in a pair of Chromosome 15, or a pair of Chromosome 5. Others have said Tetrad - Pls stand-by.
four two in each chromosome
A bivalent contains two duplicated homologous chromosomes.
A bivalent.Sister chromatids are normally joined at the centromere. When homologous chromosomes pair, the two sister chromatids of one chromosome join with the two sister chromatids of the other chromosome. So it is really the joining of non-sister chromatids that is special.The word "bivalent" refers to the temporary combining of the two chromosomes (four chromatids). The bivalent forms in prophase I of meiosis, and is split in anaphase I.
In a chromosome pair, a single chromosome is called a chromatid and the two chromotids in the pair are commonly called "sister chromatids."
Sister chromatids are two copies of a replicated chromosome. Chromosomes occur in pairs. These will be separated in anaphase of mitosis and one chromatid pair will be left for each daughter cell.
A centromere and a pair of sister chromatids
Homologous chromosomes is a pair made of a paternal and maternal chromosomes. But sister chromatid is either pairs of paternal or maternal chromosomes
The two chromosomes (two "X" shapes) that are in a pair are generally called "homologous chromosomes". A pair of "chromatids" make up the two arms of a single chromosome.
In prophase I, doubled homologous chromosomes group together to form a tetrad.
