Which structure holds chromatid pairs together during early mitosis?
During early mitosis, chromatid pairs are held together by protein complexes called cohesins. Cohesins play a crucial role in chromosome segregation by keeping sister chromatids attached until they are ready to be separated during the later stages of mitosis.
What are the two most important structures involved in moving chromosomes during mitosis?
Centromeres and spindle fibers..Prophase: During cell division small structures called centromeres move to opposite ends of a cell.Prometaphase: These centromere structures produce spindle fibers that attach to the chromosomes' kinetochores (where the sister chromatids are joined together with bundles of proteins). Other spindle fibers attach to each other at the center.Metaphase: Tension is applied to the fibers, this causes the chromosomes to align along the center of the cell.Anaphase: The fibers pull the chromosomes apart and towards the centromeres at each end of the cell.Telophase: chromosomes arrive at ends and spindle fivers disappear.
What do centromeres hold together?
DNA duplicates chromosomes that are connected at the centromere. They are usually connected through the kinetochore-microtubule which happens during the process of mitosis.
Chromosomes centromeres are attached to the kinetochere fibers?
Chromosomes' centromeres are indeed attached to kinetochore fibers, which are essential for proper chromosome movement during cell division. These fibers help align the chromosomes at the center of the cell and then pull them apart into separate daughter cells during mitosis. The kinetochore is a specialized protein structure located at the centromere that serves as the attachment point for the kinetochore fibers.
What phase of the cell cycle do centromeres divide?
It depends on whether you're talking about mitosis or meiosis. In mitosis, it is during anaphase. In meiosis, where the cell divides twice, centromeres aren't separated until anaphase II. In anaphase I, chromosomes are arranged as tetrads, and these tetrads are pulled apart to create two daughter cells, each with a full copy of the original cells' diploid chromosome.
In what stage of mitosis do the centromeres hold the doubled chromosomes together?
Prophase
When a chromosomes is duplicated but the two are still together each copy is called?
Chromatid .

During prophase a homologous pair of chromosomes consists of?
During prophase, a homologous pair of chromosomes consists of two chromosomes, one from each parent, that are similar in genes but may have different alleles. They come together and pair up to form a tetrad, where they can exchange genetic material through a process called crossing over. This exchange of genetic material increases genetic diversity in offspring.

During prophase what structures are held together by the centromeres?
The sister chromatids are held together by the centromeres. Each chromosome is made up of two sister chromatids.
What structures hold the chromosomes together?
A chromosome is made up of different parts: nucleotides (base pairs), sugar and phosphate (a full chromosome contains other stuff too but that is for a more complex explanation). The nucleotides are what codes for proteins, so that is the useful or 'coding' information. The sugar and phosphate form a sugar-phosphate backbone, holding all of the nucleotides together. (type base pairs into Google image to find a picture of this). A Chromosome is a long strand of these nucleotides which are held together with the sugar-phosphate backbone. IF UR TALKING ABOUT MEIOSIS then they are held together by spindle fibers.
What is the differ chromatin and chromosomes?
Chromatin is DNA wrapped around a sequence of histone proteins (nuleosomes) to allow full strands of DNA to fit inside nucleus. At the beginning of cell division The histone proteins condense and join together to form a chromatid a copy of DNA also known as a chromosome. Sometimes one chromatid is present in a chromosone however prior to cell division this copy of DNA is duplicated to create a chromosone with two chromatids.
What happens in meiosis during phase 1?
The homologous pairs of chromosomes line up together forming tetrads. During this time, chromatids from the homologous chromosomes cross over and exchange segments so that each chromatid contains both maternal and paternal DNA.
