Question

The kinetochore is a structure that functions to a. connect the centromere to microtubules. b. connect centrioles to microtubules. c. aid in chromosome condensation. d. aid in chromosomes cohesion.

Answer 1

The answer is A) connects the centromere to microtubules.

Step-by-step explanation:

kinetochore is a protein that makes up a chromatid during cell division and allows it to attach to a spindle fiber on a chromosome.

Kinetochore functions by anchoring chromosomes to microtubules in the spindle and attaching the centromere to the spindle fibers during mitosis among other functions.

Answer 2

Connect the centromere to microtubules. (Option A)

Step-by-step explanation:

The kinetochore is known as the complex of protein which is disc shape in structure. The structure of kinetochore is divided into three parts: inner region, outer region, and fibrous corona. Each part of the kinetochore works in its own way in the separation of the sister chromatids.

During the process of cell division (mitosis, and meiosis) kinetochore collects on the centromere and allows the chromosome to link with microtubules.
