Sister Chromatids and the Centromere
This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.
State
After DNA replication, a chromosome consists of two identical sister chromatids joined by cohesin proteins at a constricted region called the centromere.
Show
A replicated chromosome's two sister chromatids remain joined at the centromere until a later division stage pulls them apart.
Watch for
Sister chromatids are identical copies of one chromosome, not separate chromosomes — they count separately only after splitting apart.
