1. Chromatid

   A chromatid (Greek khrōmat- 'color' + -id) is one half of a duplicated chromosome. Before replication, one chromosome is composed of one DNA molecule. In replication, the DNA molecule is copied, and the two molecules are known as chromatids. During the later stages of cell division these chromatids separate longitudinally to become individual chromosomes.Chromatid pairs are normally genetically identical, and said to be homozygous. However, if mutations occur, they will present slight differences, in which case they are heterozygous. The pairing of chromatids should not be confused with the ploidy of an organism, which is the number of homologous versions of a chromosome.

1. chromatid

   A chromatid is one of the two identical copies of DNA that make up a duplicated chromosome. These copies are joined together at a region known as the centromere. During cell division, the chromatids separate and each becomes a new chromosome in the resulting daughter cells.

1. Chromatid

   A chromatid is one copy of a duplicated chromosome, which generally is joined to the other copy by a centromere, for the process of cell division. They are normally identical but may have slight differences in the case of mutations, in which case they are heterozygous. They are called sister chromatids so long as they are joined by the centromeres. When they separate, the strands are called daughter chromosomes. Before replication, one chromosome is composed of one DNA molecule and after there are two DNA molecules. This is because DNA replication increases the amount of DNA and does not increase the number of chromosomes. In other words, a chromatid is "one-half of two [normally] identical copies of a replicated chromosome". The two copies may have slight differences due to mutations. A chromatid is simply a copied chromosome which is paired with a identical chromosome at the centromere.
