The centromere is the part of a chromosome that links a pair of sister chromatids. During mitosis, spindle fibers attach to the centromere via the kinetochore. Centromeres were first thought to be genetic loci that direct the behavior of chromosomes. The physical role of the centromere is to act as the site of assembly of the kinetochores â a highly complex multiprotein structure that is responsible for the actual events of chromosome segregation â i.e. binding microtubules and ...
