at 1:02 you call the the single strand "one chromatid" but at 8:42 you refer to the single strands as chromosomes. really frustrating. so are chromosomes only present during mitosis, and the rest of the time are chromatids?
Someone correct me if I'm wrong but I think that chromatids are only the projections that extend from the centromere and chromosomes are the whole thing(two chromatids joined by the centromere)
@@Gabi-qv2zs@Oliver Sinha But at the end where the animation showed 1 stick of the X , he referred to them as a "chromosome" I think this was a small error and a full X is called a chromosome, and 1 stick passing through a centromere is a chromatid
@@Ombremugofyasamal I think as Gabi said, once the chromatids have reached separate poles of the cell they start being called chromosomes which is why he referred to the single strand as a chromosome
At 6:07 you said the spindle fibres attach to the centromere. This isn't correct. The spindle fibres attach to a specific protein on the centromere called kinetochore.
@Lily STEPHENS at the start the chromatid is the chromosome, it doubles to make sister chromatids and once it divides its a chromatid again which is a chromosome I'm pretty sure
