In this diagram of a duplicated chromosome, (2) identifies the centromereâthe region that joins the two sister chromatids, or each half of the chromosome.he centromere (centro- + -mere) is the part of a chromosome that links sister chromatids. During mitosis, spindle fibers attach to the centromere via the kinetochore. Centromeres were first defined as genetic loci that direhromosomes.
During prophase I, each of the homologous pairs of chromosomes can be seen as bivalent or as a grouping of two chromosomes said to be sister chromatids. The site at which the crossing over occurs on the sister chromatids is known as the chiasma. Prophase I is the longest phase during the meiosis process and takes up to 90 percent of the total time of cell division.
