chromatid One of the two daughter strands of a chromosome that has undergone division during interphase. Chromatids are joined together by a single centromere, usually positioned in the centre of the pair as they lie beside one another. When the centromere divides at anaphase of mitosis or anaphase II of meiosis, the sister chromatids become separate chromosomes.
