Okay, so I know that before a cell can divide, it was to replicate its DNA and give an identical set to each of its daughter cells.
Let's take a human cell. It has 46 chromosomes.
It duplicates its DNA and STILL HAS 46 CHROMOSOMES???
DOES EACH ONE HAVE 2 CHROMATIDS??
WHAT ABOUT BEFORE IT DIVIDES? IT HAS 46 CHROMOSOMES BUT ARE THEY MADE UP OF ONLY ONE CHROMATID(thats not the correct term because a chromatid refers to 1 of 2 identical parts), meaning just a straight squiggly??
Please help me !! I am so confused!
