Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Sister chromatids are copies of chromosomes that are linked together at their centromeres at the beginning of meiosis. They separate during the process of meiosis, with one sister chromatid going to each daughter cell. The terms "mother chromosomes" and "daughter chromosomes" are not commonly used, and the terms "homologous chromatids" and "analogous genes" refer to different concepts in genetics.
