Answer:
The two identical chromosomes that result from DNA replication are referred to as sister chromatids. Sister chromatids are held together by proteins at a region of the chromosome called the centromere. Chromosomes undergo additional compaction at the beginning of mitosis.
Explanation:
Based on the position of centromere and length of chromosomal arms, the chromosomes are classified into 4 groups:
(1). Telocentric chromosomes.
(2). Acrocentric chromosomes.
(3). Sub-metacentric chromosomes.
(4). Metacentric chromosomes.
