What is each copy of the duplicated chromosome called?(a) Chromatid(b) Chromomere(c) Kinetochore(d) ChromonemaThis question was addressed to me in an interview for job.My doubt stems from Chromosomal Theory of Inheritance-2 topic in chapter Principles of Inheritance and Variation of Biology – Class 12

Answer»

Right answer is (a) CHROMATID

For explanation I would SAY: The chromosomes duplicate during the G2 phase of the cell cycle. Each copy of the chromosome is IDENTICAL and is hence called a chromatid. The G2 phase is followed by M phase or MEIOTIC phase, where the chromatids align together at the metaphase plate followed by segregation during the anaphase.
