Question 14 • Biology

Which statement about sister chromatids is true?

Answer
A
Each sister chromatid forms a lobe of a chromosome.
B
One sister chromatid is inherited from each parent.
C
Sister chromatids are always in every cell.
D
Sister chromatids are only present during cell reproduction.

Explanation

Sister chromatids are identical copies of a chromosome made when DNA is replicated before cell division. They remain joined until they separate during cell reproduction, so they are not present in every cell at all times. The true statement is that sister chromatids are only present during cell reproduction.
