Kinetochore

... sequences have no function in non-dividing cells? So, the centromeres must have sequences which only help them to bind to microtubules via the kinetochore. What do you think about it?

... looks like this because the DNA that makes up the chromosome has replicated, and the copy strand is still attached to the original strand by the kinetochore. The chromosome remains in this form until anaphase of mitosis or anaphase II of mitosis at which point the spindle apparatus pulls the ...

thank you for that pg 233 The two liberated daughter chromosomes begin moving toward opposite ends of the cell as their kinetochore shorten. Because these microtubules are attached at the centromere region, the chromosomes move centromere first (at about 1um/min). what does this mean? ...

... Two types of signals have been implicated in metaphase checkpoint arrest. Consider the results of a recent experiment in which the unattached kinetochore of a monoattached chromosome was destroyed by a laser beam. It was found in this study that, following destruction of the kinetochore, the ...

Maybe can change centromere and kinetochore.
