A. A single chromatid with two centromeres
B. Two identical sister chromatids joined at the centromere
C. Four non-sister chromatids separated completely
D. Three independent strands of euchromatin

📝 Explanation

Following replication in the S-phase, each chromosome at metaphase is composed of two identical copies called sister chromatids, which remain physically connected at the primary constriction site (centromere).

📖 Additional Information

  • A single chromatid with two centromeres
