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.

∙ 8y agoA 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.

What is the region of a chromosome where two sister chromatids attach?
The two identical chromosomes are conjoined at the centromere.
What holds chromosomes together?
The centromere holds chromosomes together. It is the circle like thing in the middle of the chromosome.
What is the name of the point at which the two halves of duplicated chromosomes are connected?
The part of a chromosome where two sister chromatids are joined together is called the centromere.
What is sister chromatids held together by?
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
What is the function of centromere?
the centromere keeps the two sister chromatids together. its also where the chromosome attaches to the spindle apparatus during mitosis and meiosis.
What is the region of a chromosome where two sister chromatids attach?
The two identical chromosomes are conjoined at the centromere.
Structure that holds two duplicate chromosomes together?
Centromere
Two chromosomes that have the same lenght centromere position and staining pattern are called?
homologous chromosomes
Two chromosomes that have the same length centromere position and staining pattern are called?
Homologous Chromosomes

Is a centromere an organized display of an organism's chromosomes?
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.
What is the function of centromere?
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?
Fibers in the spindle that attach to the centromere of the chromosomes are called what?
Which structure connects the replicated chromosomes?
Centromere
What are chromosomes that are of the same size and function and the centromere is at the same location yet are not homologous?
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?
