Different groups of people have responded to feminism, and both men and women have been among its supporters and critics. Among American university students, for both men and women, support for feminist ideas is more common than self-identification as a feminist.
Sister chromatids are the two identical halves of a single replicated eukaryotic chromosome. They are joined at the centromere (see diagram at right) and are genetically identical because, during interphase, they are produced from the two complementary strands of a single duplex DNA molecule (more about replication >>).
When a cell divides, the sister chromatids separate, and each daughter cell receives one of the strands. The chromatid then decondenses into a long single chromatin strand when the new cell goes into interphase.
