søsterkromatidene
The term søsterkromatidene, which translates to "sister chromatids," refers to the two identical copies of a single chromosome that are connected by a centromere after DNA replication. Following the S phase of interphase, each chromosome duplicates its genetic material, producing two chromatids that are genetically identical and physically bound together.
During cell division, whether mitosis or meiosis, the sister chromatids play a pivotal role in ensuring accurate
In meiosis, the process is slightly more complex. Sister chromatids first undergo recombination events during prophase
The cohesion of sister chromatids is maintained by a multi-protein complex that includes cohesin, which forms
Understanding the behavior and regulation of søsterkromatidene is essential for insights into genetic stability, cell cycle
