### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Chromatids**: A chromosome consists of two identical halves called sister chromatids. These chromatids are formed during the DNA replication process. 2. **Identifying the Structure**: The question asks for the structure that holds these sister chromatids together. This is a crucial part of chromosome structure during cell division. 3. **Defining the Centromere**: The structure that connects both sister chromatids is known as the **centromere**. It is located at the center of the chromosome. ...
