In 6:35, as I have understood, the arrow pointing towards the “chromosome” should be a chromatid, right? I have been having some trouble understanding the terminology but with pictures in the internet I think I shouldn’t be wrong. If I am I apologise.
No worries! I appreciate the question and would like to help. If you are talking about the dark blue arrow on the left, labelled with "chromosome" in the middle of it, that is in fact pointing to a chromosome. Individual chromosomes for humans exist in homologous pairs, which are the two chromosomes on the left. During the cell cycle DNA is replicated and each chromosome then creates a copy which is called a chromatid, as pictured on the right. I hope that helps! If you have other questions please let me know.

Oh, thanks a lot, that made much more sense.
hey, are you planning to do protein synthesis (D1.2)? btw appreciate ur work!!
Yes! Not sure exactly when that will be but the plan is to finish all of the curriculum in the next few months.
