Chromatids
Chromatids are parts of chromosomes consisting of two identical strands of DNA joined together in a double helix structure. They are formed during the process of chromosome replication, when a single chromosome is duplicated and the replicated chromosomes divide to form two chromatids, which are held together by a common centromere. Chromatids play an essential role in the formation of gametes and the inheritance of genetic information. They are also involved in the regulation of gene expression and the maintenance of genomic stability. Chromatids are important for the proper functioning of any cell and are integral for cell division and normal development.

DNA, is like a blueprint of biological guidelines that a living organism must follow to exist and remain functional. RNA, helps carry out this blueprint's guidelines. RNA is more versatile than DNA, capable of performing numerous, diverse tasks in an organism, however DNA is more stable and holds more complex information for longer periods of time.
