Centromere is required for

  • transcription

  • crossing over

  • cytoplasmic cleavage

  • movement of chromosomes towards poles


D.

movement of chromosomes towards poles

Chromosomes are responsible for the transmission of the hereditary information from one generation to the next. Arms of the chromosome is known as chromatid. They are joined together in the centre known as centromere or primary constriction. During cell division, spindle fibres attach to centromere and help in the movement towards the poles.
