In contrast to cohesin, which binds two sister chromatids together, condensin is thought to bind a single chromatid at multiple spots, twisting the chromatin into a variety of coils and loops ...

Since sister chromatids are identical to each other, recombination with a sister chromatid is expected, in most cases, to be a precise way for repairing DNA damage. Recombination between 2 different ...

As long as they remain attached to each other the two identical copies of the chromosome are known as sister chromatids. The separated sister chromatids are now known as chromosomes. Their DNA ...

The pairs of chromosomes that have been replicated are called sister chromatids, and they remain joined at a central point called the centromere. A large structure called the mitotic spindle also ...
