The equal apportionment of daughter chromosomes to each of the two cells resulting from cell division is chromosome segregation .
Chromosome segregation occurs during mitosis and meiosis .
Segregation and division are regulated by DNA replication . Centromeres are critical for segregation. Centromere structures vary among organisms. Centromeres are the attachment points of kinetochores . Molecular motors attached to kinetochores move chromosomes in segregation.
