Each chromosome consists of ........ at the beginning of cell division.
Correct answer: B. Two sister chromatids
- A. Two non-sister centromeres
- B. Two sister chromatids
- C. Two non-sister chromatids
- D. Two sister centromeres
Explanation
Both chromatids of same chromosome are sister to each other whereas they are non-sister to the chromatids of other homologue. During gametogenesis both sister chromatids areseparated and each goes to a separate gamete. However, in S phase of cell cycle each chromatid synthesizes its sister chromatid again.
