When the chromosomes condense during cell division, they have already undergone replication. 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...
Chromosome 1, chromosome 2, etc. The organism with one set of chromosome is termed haploid (n). Each chromosomes in a set of chromosomes has exactly identical chromosome in other set of chromosomes in diploid (2n) organism. In Pisum sativum (Edible pea), n=7. Somatic cells in Pisum sativum are diploid ( 2n=14). The two chromosomes of the same type in two sets are termed homologous chromosomes. In higher plants like Spermatophytes, the main plant body is diploid. In lower plants like algae and fungi, the main plant body is haploid.
