A centromere is the region of a chromosome where the two sister chromatids are joined together and where the spindle fibers attach during cell division.

6.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What are sister chromatids?

Back

Sister chromatids are identical copies of a chromosome that are connected by a centromere and are formed during DNA replication.

7.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What happens during anaphase of mitosis?

Back

During anaphase of mitosis, sister chromatids are pulled apart to opposite poles of the cell, ensuring each daughter cell receives an identical set of chromosomes.
