Guida verificata passo dopo passo1
Understand the structure of a chromosome during metaphase: Each chromosome consists of two sister chromatids that are identical copies of each other.
Recall that during metaphase, chromosomes are aligned at the metaphase plate, and each chromosome is composed of two chromatids connected at the centromere.
Visualize the chromosome structure: Imagine a chromosome as an 'X' shape, where each side of the 'X' represents a chromatid.
Consider the process of mitosis: During metaphase, chromosomes are fully condensed and consist of two chromatids, which will later be separated into individual chromosomes during anaphase.
Conclude that during metaphase of mitosis, each chromosome is composed of 2 chromatids.
