Kinetochore example sentences

At this stage the chromosomes align at the equator and the microtubules from opposite poles of the spindle get attached to the kinetochores (Figureure 4) of sister chromatids.Hence, the metaphase is characterised by all the chromosomes coming to lie at the equator with one chromatid of each chromosome connected by its kinetochore to spindle fibres from one pole and its sister chromatid connected by its kinetochore to spindle fibres from the opposite pole (Figureure 2 b).Small disc-shaped structures at the surface of the centromeres are called kinetochores.
