what is it called when there are two copies of each chromosomes in a cell?
240422
As a cell prepares to divide, it must make a copy of each of its chromosomes. The two copies of a chromosome are called sister chromatids. The sister chromatids are identical to one another and are attached to each other by proteins called cohesins.

The cellular DNA is replicated during interphase, resulting in the formation of two copies of each chromosome prior to the beginning of mitosis. As the cell enters mitosis, chromatin condensation leads to the formation of metaphase chromosomes consisting of two identical sister chromatids.

A human has 23 pairs of chromosomes in each cells, which would be 46 individual chromosomes; since mitosis result in 2 cells, mitosis would give 46 pairs of chromosomes form the 2 cells, meaning 92 individual chromosomes form the 2 daughter cells at the end of mitosis.

After replication of the 46 chromosomes, the cell contains 92 chromatids (in 46 pairs). After mitosis two identical cells are created with the same original number of chromosomes, 46.

During metaphase, the cell's chromosomes align themselves in the middle of the cell through a type of cellular "tug of war." The chromosomes, which have been replicated and remain joined at a central point called the centromere, are called sister chromatids.

Each of the 46 original chromosomes splits into two daughter chromosomes, so there are two sets of 46 daughter chromosomes that end up in each cell. Human cells have 46 chromosomes. Each chromosome consists of a pair of identical chromatids attached together by a structure called a centromere.

S phase (DNA Synthesis) - Each of the 46 chromosomes are duplicated by the cell. III. G2 phase (Gap 2) - The Cell “double checks” the duplicated chromosomes for error, making any needed repair.

An unreplicated chromosome contains one double strand -DNA molecule. A replicated chromosome contains two identical double strand -DNA- molecules, the chromatids, that are joined at their centromere. Haploid is the term for a cell or an organism with only one set of chromosomes (n).

There are now two cells, and each cell contains half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell. In addition, the two daughter cells are not genetically identical to each other because of the recombination that occurred during prophase I (Figure 4).

Each of these double strands of DNA condenses into a single rod called a sister chromatid (as in Figure B-9). The two chromatids are therefore exact replicas of one another, and the center of each is joined together prior to the division of the cell. As a result, most chromosomes take on the appearance of the letter X.

The two sister chromatids are separated from each other into two different cells during mitosis or during the second division of meiosis. Compare sister chromatids to homologous chromosomes, which are the two different copies of a chromosome that diploid organisms (like humans) inherit, one from each parent.

Lesson Summary Mitosis is the process a single cell uses to divide into two new identical cells. The original cell is called a parent cell, and the newly formed cells are referred to as daughter cells. A vital focus of mitosis is the division of our chromosomes, which are tightly coiled segments of DNA.

A gamete has one-half the number of chromosomes of a regular body cell. Homologous chromosomes are two chromosomes with identical DNA sequences. False, Homologous chromosomes contain the same genes as one another, but the DNA sequences vary.

Following replication, each chromosome is composed of two DNA molecules; in other words, DNA replication itself increases the amount of DNA but does not (yet) increase the number of chromosomes. The two identical copies—each forming one half of the replicated chromosome—are called chromatids.

Chromosomes may exist as either duplicated or unduplicated. Unduplicated chromosomes are single linear strands, whereas duplicated chromosomes contain two identical copies (called chromatids or sister chromatids) joined by a centromere.

Diploid cells are two full sets of chromosomes while haploid cells are one full set of chromosomes.
993849
The duplicated chromosome becomes a double-stranded chromosome and each strand is called a chromatid. Paired chromatids are held together at a region of the chromosome called the centromere. The paired chromatids or sister chromatids eventually separate and become known as daughter chromosomes.
