Sister Chromatids


sister chromatids
(kroh-muh-tidz)
Replicated forms of a chromosome joined together by the centromere and eventually separated during mitosis or meiosis II.

sister chromatids Chromatids joined by a common centromere and carrying identical genetic information (unless crossing-over has occurred). PICTURE ...
Full article >>>

How do nonsister chromatids ensure that crossing over between them will occur without the loss or gain of a single nucleotide? One plausible mechanism for which there is considerable laboratory evidence postulates the following events.

Anaphase
the sister chromatids separates and chromosomes pull apart
identical copies are pulled part to each side of the cell by the spindle fibers ...
Full article >>>

The chiasmata are thought to be the points where two nonsister chromatids exchange genetic material during chromosomal crossover during meiosis (sister chromatids also form chiasmata between each other, ...
Full article >>>

In the, second division (meiosis II), sister chromatids segregate.
In the segregation of chromosomes to daughter cells, the chromosomes appear to be pulled via a structure attached to chromosome centromeres.
Full article >>>

Anaphase is preceded by metaphase, by the end of which fully condensed sister chromatids are arranged in pairs, their centromeres lying along a surface known as the metaphase plate.
Full article >>>

: Constricted region where sister chromatids are attached in mitotic chromosomes. The centromere is generally flanked by repetitive DNA sequences and it is late to replicate. The centromere is an A-T region of about 130 bp.

The stage of meiosis and mitosis in which sister chromatids (meiosisII) or homologous chromosomes (mitosis and meiosisI) are separated by spindle fibers.

A cross-over between strands of two non-sister chromatids during recombination. The junction where two homologous chromosomes appear to exchange genetic material during recombination. (Chi is the greek letter c which resembles a genetic cross-over.) ...

sister chromatid One of the two identical parts of a duplicated chromosome in a eukaryotic cell. Sister chromatids consist of exact copies of a long coiled DNA molecule with associated proteins.

Centromere the central region of a chromosome which holds the sister chromatids together

crossing over
the reciprocal exchange of genetic material between non-sister chromatids during synapsis of meiosis I.
Crustacea
class in the phylum Arthropoda. Most members of this class are aquatic, although a few are terrestrial.

Centromere: A specialized constricted region of a chromosome to which spindle fibers attach during cell division at which two sister chromatids (the two exact copies of each chromosome that are formed after replication) are joined, ...
Full article >>>

The constricted region near the center of a human chromosome. This is the region of the chromosome where the two sister chromatids are joined to one another.

kinetochore: a region of DNA that has remained undivided during prophase of mitosis; binds to the spindle fibers that eventually pull apart the sister chromatids.
kingdom: the largest and broadest category of the classification system.
Full article >>>

Next, the sister chromatids are separated from each other (the second meiotic division). Finally, the separated sets of chromosomes (a haploid set) are wrapped up in spores.
