The centromere plays a crucial role in the proper segregation of chromosomes during mitosis.
Each chromosome has a single centromere that is essential for cell division.
Scientists study the structure of the centromere to understand genetic stability.
During metaphase, chromosomes align at the cell's equator with their centromeres attached to spindle fibers.
The spindle fibers attach to the centromeres of each homologous chromosome pair during metaphase I.
