| The centromere is a specialized region of a chromosome that plays a crucial role in the segregation of chromosomes during cell division. It is responsible for ensuring that each daughter cell receives the correct number of chromosomes during mitosis and meiosis. The centromere is typically located near the center of the chromosome, although its precise position can vary depending on the chromosome and species. It appears as a constriction or narrowing in the chromosome when viewed under a microscope. |
