During mitosis, spindle fibers attach to the centromere via the kinetochore. Centromeres were first defined as genetic loci that direhromosomes.
The mother cellâs DNA is copied during interphase. During mitosis the chromosomes condense from long strands to highly coiled structures. The two copies of each DNA strand, called sister chromatids, are physically attached to one another. The chromosomes are moved to the center of the cell and split apart in a highly coordinated fashion.
