Uses
Chromatids are essential in several areas of biology, including genetics, cell biology, and developmental biology. They are used to study the processes of DNA replication, cell division, and genetic inheritance. Chromatids are also used in medical research to study genetic diseases and to develop new therapies for cancer and other genetic disorders.
Chromatid
Chromatids are one of the essential components of a chromosome, and they play a vital role in cell division, DNA replication, and genetic inheritance. Chromatids are the exact copies of a chromosome that are formed during the S phase of the cell cycle, and they are held together by a protein structure called the centromere. Each chromosome consists of two identical sister chromatids, which separate from each other during mitosis or meiosis.
