| In both cases, the breakpoints are chosen restricted to the chosen arm to ensure that each resultant chromosome has exactly one centromere. |
| The presence of a kinetochore spot indicates the centromere region of each chromosome. |
| Second, the centromere is the focus for the formation of the kinetochore, where microtubules connect to the chromosomes during anaphase in mitosis and meiosis. |
| We observed an accumulation of cDNA loci near the centromere for seven chromosomes. |
| When a crossover occurs between the centromere and the locus, the first division can be either equational or reductional. |
| The metazoan centromere was first identified cytologically as the region of the primary constriction of a metaphase chromosome. |
