aminzairi Posted December 8, 2016 Report Share Posted December 8, 2016 What's the difference between chromatid, chromosome and chromatin. During S phase the cell undergoes replication does the cell's chromatin becomes 92 ? but the chromosome remains 46 ? am i correct ? How about chromatin ?

mac117 Posted December 8, 2016 Report Share Posted December 8, 2016 Here's a quick breakdown: chromatin: DNA+ histones (coiled) chromosome: packed DNA and RNA Chromatid: you refer to 2 sister chromatids during cell division. Once they're pulled apart in Anaphase you refer to them as chromosomes. There are 46 chromosomes but 96 chromatids during the S phase. Essentially, one chromosome is made out of 2 chromatids. Hooe it helps! 1 Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
