After a chromosome has replicated itself, into two chromotids and a centometre, is it still called a chromosome (singular)? Or is it now two chromosomes?

And this is level 1 NCEA so keep it simple please. They tend to lie to us in order not to confuse us, and I'd appreciate it if you did as well.

I understand you are really confused:

It's chromatid and centromeres.

The product is still a chromosome , but now there are two, and , by classical chromosomal structure, youve ignored and important structural element that "caps" the end of a chromsome, so youve youve forgotten the what?

Dont get defensive about your misspelling. Francis has done you a favor to call your attention to your mistake.Your mistake wasnt a mere typo, it was an insertion of an entirely new concept where youve tried to combine a meaure of length to a concept of structure. I think now, you wont make that mistake again because youve been called on it. I think that alone was a valuable lesson.
But I dont really care , because using the internet for your homework exhibits great laziness.
Id rather you do your work and then post your answer on the web and then youd get people whod love to help by acting as a fact or information check.

Not always by any stretch.

And what's up with laziness? It's Green and we might all be a lot better off if we practiced it more. Rate busters are a confounded nuisance up to the point they fly up their own arse.

So, do you normally spend a lot of your free time up your own rectum?

I hadn't thought of that fm. Is it any good?

Isn't laziness a sound evolutionary principle?
