(a) Chromosome and chromatid
Chromosome | Chromatin |
Chromosomes are nucleus that contains cell’s DNA which is arranged into discrete units. | Chromatin is a chromosome that contains one single long DNA molecule connected with many proteins. |
(b) Centrosome and Centromere
Centrosome | Centromere |
Centrosome is only in present animal cells and is located near the nucleus. It has one or two centrioles. | During the beginning of the cell division there is two chromatids joined at some point along the same length and this point of attachment is called centromere. |
(c) Aster and spindle fibres.
Aster | Spindle fibres |
Each daughter centrioles of the cell is surrounded by the radiating rays and is called as the aster. | Number of fibres that appear in between the two daughter centrioles are called the spindle fibres. |
(d) Haploid and diploid
Haploid | Diploid |
Only half the number of chromosomes is passed on to each daughter cell which is the haploid (n). | Full Set of chromosomes is passed on to each daughter cell which is the diploid (2n). |
