Can a Chromatid Have a Centromere?

A chromatid is a replicated chromosome having two daughter strands joined by a single centromere (the two strands separate during cell division to become individual chromosomes).

How are chromatid and centromere related?

A centromere joins the two sister chromatids together at the same specific loci on each chromatid until the sister chromatids are separated during anaphase.

How many centromeres are in a chromatid?

Full Member. Cliffs AP bio says there is 1 centromere per chromosome.. but after a duplicated chromosome splits, the chromatids are considered chromosomes because each chromatid has 1 centromere.
