Example sentences for: chromatids

How can you use “chromatids” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:

  • After replication, the chromosomes (now comprising two chromatids) align at the center of the cell, and are attached to a structure known as the spindle apparatus.

  • PCS of homologous chromosomes and sister chromatids prior to establishing proper kinetochore-spindle attachment during meiosis I increases the probabilities of both homologues going to the same pole and of equational division of sister chromatids during anaphase I. Upon normal fertilization, MII oocytes with an additional chromosome result in trisomic zygotes; whereas oocytes containing an extra chromatid would be expected to produce 50% trisomic zygotes due to random segregation during anaphase II.

  • Chromosome cohesion is established during S phase (when the chromosomes are replicated) and is then dissolved completely in metaphase to allow sister chromatids to come apart.

  • , since mutation results in the precocious dissociation of sister chromatids.

  • The spindle, which is composed of microtubules, pulls the chromatids apart so that two complete sets of chromosomes are gathered together at each pole of the cell, which can then divide.
