centromere is place at which spindle fibers are attached if the centromere is lost then chromosome will lose its point for the attachement of the spindle fiber and then will not be able to take part in mitosis. chromosome is usually lost in this case.
A chromosome after losing its centromere will not be able to move along with other chromosomes during nuclear division (by mitosis or meiosis). These left behind chromosomes are called laggards. Thus a chromosome without a centeromere becomes a laggard.
It will be unable to pair with any other chromosomes and will result in programmed cell death (apoptosis).
I'm pretty sure that is impossible.
The two identical chromosomes are conjoined at the centromere.
The centromere holds chromosomes together. It is the circle like thing in the middle of the chromosome.
The part of a chromosome where two sister chromatids are joined together is called the centromere.
Sister chromatids are held together at a region of highly condensed DNA called the centromere. The centromere region is very important during the process of cell division where chromosomes have to segregate into daughter cells. In addition, chromosomes are classified into different groups based on the position of the centromere
the centromere keeps the two sister chromatids together. its also where the chromosome attaches to the spindle apparatus during mitosis and meiosis.

No, the centromere is not an organized display of an organism's chromosomes. A centromere is the point of the chromosome where it is attached to a spindle during cell division.
the centromere keeps the two sister chromatids together. its also where the chromosome attaches to the spindle apparatus during mitosis and meiosis.
Fibers in the spindle that attach to the centromere of the chromosomes are called what?
Centromere
Chromosomes of the same size and functions and with the centromere located at the same location are called homologous chromosomes. What if they are not homologous?
