21. During the later stages of cell division these chromatids separate longitudinally to become individual chromosomes. 22. However, he did not see the splitting into identical halves, the daughter chromatids . 23. Instead, they remain tightly associated with the centromeres of non-disjoined sister chromatids . 24. Rec8 is sequentially removed from sister chromatids . 25. Chromosomes that are condensed during the G 2 phase yields long chromosomes with two chromatids . 26. Wapl has been tied to the loss of cohesin from the chromatids during M phase. 27. Changes in patterns of sister chromatid cohesion have been observed in cases of DNA damage. 28. According to this page the two sister chromatids together can also be called a dyad. 29. Following this, they were treated with DNA repair inhibitors and compared for chromatid breaks. 30. Once the cells have divided, the chromatids are uncoiled and DNA can again be transcribed.
