Solution
The correct answers are:
- Separated during cell division
- Identical copies
- Joined to each other at the centromere
The two chromatids of a single replicated chromosome are not called homologous chromosomes. Homologous chromosomes are a pair of chromosomes, one from each parent, that have the same length, overall appearance, and genes, but are not identical.
Also, they are not called nonsister chromatids. Nonsister chromatids refer to the chromatids of the two different members of a pair of homologous chromosomes. These chromatids may contain different genetic information if crossing over occurred during meiosis.
The two chromatids of a single replicated chromosome are identical copies of each other and are joined together at a region called the centromere. During cell division, these chromatids are separated to ensure that each new cell receives one copy of each chromosome.
