- A specialized condensed region of each chromosome that appears during mitosis where the chromatids are held together to form an X shape; "the centromere is difficult to sequence"
- (centromeric) pertaining to the dense specialized portion of a chromosome to which the spindle attaches during mitosis
- A centromere is a region of DNA typically found near the middle of a chromosome where two identical sister chromatids come in contact. It is involved in cell division as the point of mitotic spindle attachment.
- Region of a eukaryotic chromosome where the kinetochore is assembled
- A specialized region on each chromatid to which kinetochores and sister chromatids attach. PICTURE
- In mammalian genetics, the primary constriction of a chromosome separating it into the short arm (p) and the long arm (q). The centromere is the chromosomal region over which the kinetochore is organized. See the Figure at NHGRI. ...
- The center part of a chromosome that appears "pinched" between the p and q arms.
- Cell organelle that holds pairs of chromosomes together during reproductive phase
- Intersection of the short and long arms of a chromosome
