There are two chromatids for each chromosome during the cell division process because, prior to mitosis or meiosis, the DNA replicates. This replication results in two identical copies, called sister chromatids, which are joined at a region called the centromere. The presence of two chromatids ensures that each daughter cell receives an identical set of chromosomes during cell division. This is crucial for maintaining genetic consistency across generations of cells.
