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...
Gametes are cells with only half the number of chromosomes as the organism. When two gametes fuse together, the number of chromosomes is correct, with half of those chromosomes (one from each pair) coming from the mother and the other half coming from the father.tep 2: Each of the two daughter cells is divided into two making four gametes. This step is called Meiosis II but it is really the same process as mitosis. Gametes only contain one copy of each gene, but the cell they were made from contained two varieties of each gene.
