Question

what are sister chromatids and non sister chromatids?

Dear Student,
Here is the answer to your question,

Sister
Chromatid

Non-Sister
Chromatid

·Sister
chromatids are identical to each other

·Nonsister
chromatids are not identical to each other as they represent
different but homologous chromosomes

·During S
phase of the cell cycle the DNA is replicated and an identical copy
of the chromatid is made These two chromatids are then called
sister chromatids

·The
non-sister chromatid will carry the same type of genetic
information, but not exactly the same information

Hope this helps,
Cheers!!
