    Chromosomes, Homologous Pairs, Chromatids and DNA Molecules Golden Rule

    Uploaded by

    Michelle Yeap
    The document discusses the relationship between chromosomes, chromatids, and DNA molecules during the cell cycle. It provides a table showing the number of DNA molecules present at different stages of the cell cycle. It also explains the difference between sister chromatids, which are identical copies of each other, and homologous chromosomes, which contain the same genes but may have different versions inherited from each parent.

    How to figure out how many DNA molecules are present:


    OR for non-duplicated (a.k.a. unreplicated) chromosomes:

    Chromosomes, homologous pairs, chromatids and DNA molecules


    Each number corresponds to an unreplicated homologous pair of chromosomes

    Each number corresponds to a replicated homologous pair of chromosomes

    Whats the difference between sister chromatids and homologous chromosomes?


    Sister chromatids are (mostly) identical! Its basically a copy (replicate) of the original chromatid.
    Homologous chromosomes only share the same size and shape they may contain the same genes, but they
    may or may not be the same version in each chromosome of the pair. One comes from the father and one
    from the mother. Crossing over occurs between these (NOT between sister chromatids).
