Each chromosome thus consists of two identical replicas, called chromatids, joined at a point called the centromere. During mitosis the sister chromatids separate, one going to each daughter cell. Chromosomes thus meet the first criterion for being the repository of genes: they are replicated, and a...
sections of DNA in the chromosome that carry the information for the traits of an organism such as hair color, eye color, height, etc. Genes, like the chromosomes they make up, are in pairs. One half of the pair comes from one parent and one half from the other parent and are joined into pairs when the sperm fertilizes the egg during reproduction. Each member of a pair of genes is called an allele.
