During mitosis, spindle fibers attach to the centromere via the kinetochore. Centromeres were first defined as genetic loci that direhromosomes.
Before meiosis begins, during S phase of the cell cycle, the DNA of each chromosome is replicated so that it consists of two identical sister chromatids. In meiosis I, homologous chromosomes pair with each other and can exchange genetic material in a process called chromosomal crossover.
