A chromatid is a replicated chromosome having two daughter strands joined by a single centromere (the two strands separate during cell division to become individual chromosomes).
Sister chromatids are two identical copies of a single replicated chromosome that are connected by a centromere. Chromosome replication takes place during interphase of the cell cycle. ... Sister chromatids are considered to be a single duplicated chromosome

A chromatid is one of two identical halves of a replicated chromosome. Following DNA replication, the chromosome consists of two identical structures called sister chromatids, which are joined at the centromere.
- Chromatids are produced from chromatin fibers during both meiosis and mitosis. Chromatin is composed of DNA and skeletal proteins and is called a nucleosome when wrapped around these proteins in sequence. Even more tightly wound nucleosomes are called chromatin fibers. Chromatin condenses DNA enough to fit within a cell's nucleus. Condensed chromatin fibers form chromosomes.
