Question

During cell division, the spindle fibres get attached to condensing chromosome at a highly differentiated region. This region is called as

• A. Chromosome
• B. Chromocentre
• C. Centriole
• D. Kinetochore

Answer 1

The correct option is D Kinetochore

The key feature of metaphase is the attachment of spindle fibers to kinetochores of chromosomes. Kinetochores are disc-shaped structure at the surface of the centromeres. These structures serve as the site of attachment of spindle fibres to the chromosomes that are moved toward poles.

So, the correct answer is 'Kinetochore'.
