Centromeres split during cell division in the mitotic phase called anaphase. As the sister chromatids are pulled apart towards opposite poles of the cell, the centromeres divide, forming individual chromatids that will become separate chromosomes in the daughter cells.
The stage of mitosis when spindle fibers attach to the centromeres of sister chromatids is called metaphase.
Yes, plant cells have centromeres. Centromeres are specific DNA sequences located on the chromosome where the kinetochore assembles during cell division to help in the separation of chromosomes. These structures are essential for the proper alignment and segregation of chromosomes during mitosis and meiosis.
The centromeres split during the anaphase stage of mitosis. This is when the paired sister chromatids are pulled towards opposite poles of the cell by the spindle fibers.
The cables made of microtubules that extend from the poles of a cell to the centromeres during cell division are called spindle fibers or mitotic spindles. They help in the separation of chromosomes during mitosis or meiosis by attaching to the centromeres.
During anaphase in mitosis or meiosis II, the centromeres split, allowing each sister chromatid to be pulled to opposite ends of the dividing cell by the spindle fibers. This leads to the separation of the chromatids into individual chromosomes, ensuring that each daughter cell receives a complete set of genetic material.
Centromeres
No
Spindle microtubules attach to the centromeres, facilitating their alignment and separation during cell division. The microtubules help pull the duplicated chromosomes apart by exerting force on the centromeres, ensuring that each daughter cell receives the correct number of chromosomes. This process ensures equal distribution of genetic material during cell division.

Centromeres.
The sister chromatids are held together by the centromeres. Each chromosome is made up of two sister chromatids.
