Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The centromere is the DNA region to which proteins bind to form the kinetochore and spindle fibers attach for segregation of the chromosomes. Chiasma is the site of crossing over during meiosis, synaptonemal complex is the protein structure that forms between homologous chromosomes during meiosis, and origin is the location on the DNA molecule where DNA replication begins.
