During mitosis, spindle fibers attach to the centromere via the kinetochore. Centromeres were first defined as genetic loci that direhromosomes.
Linkage and Gene Mapping. Photo by: Johan Swanepoel. Linkage refers to the presence of two different genes on the same chromosome. Two genes that occur on the same chromosome are said to be linked, and those that occur very close together are tightly linked. Study of linkage provides information about the relative position of genes on chromosomes, allowing the construction of chromosome maps.
