The clear constricted portion of the chromosome at which the chromatids are joined and by which the chromosome is attached to the spindle during cell division.
A constricted region of a chromosome that includes the site of attachment to the mitotic or meiotic spindle.
That portion of the chromosome to which the spindle fiber is attached.
A constricted part of a chromosome, seen as a cell divides.
The eukaryotic chromosomal region that attaches to the mitotic spindle during cell division; it contains high concentrations of repetitive DNA.
The part of a chromosome that joins the two chromatids to each other and becomes attached to the spindle during mitosis and ‘meiosis. When chromosome division takes place the centromeres split longitudinally.
A constricted region of a chromosome, a specific sequence of about 200 nucleotides that connects the chromatids during cell division. Attached to this DNA is a protein disk called a kinetochore, which attaches the pair of chromatids to a spindle fiber.
The centromere, a region of constriction found within a chromosome, fulfills crucial roles in the process of cell division. It orchestrates and coordinates specific functions that are essential for the accurate segregation of genetic material during cellular replication.
