In conclusion, the statement 'they are part of the lined-up chromosomes in mitosis' CORRECTLY describes sister chromatids (Option D).

  • During the synthesis (S) phase of the cell cycle, each chromosome is replicated.

  • These identical DNA molecules are called sister chromatids.

  • In mitosis, sister chromatids are held together and line up at the equator plate of the cell during metaphase.

  • During anaphase, sister chromatids (now called chromosomes) are separated and pulled towards opposite poles of the cell by the mitotic spindle.

In conclusion, the statement 'they are part of the lined-up chromosomes in mitosis' CORRECTLY describes sister chromatids (Option D).
