Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A portion of DNA that encodes a specific protein is called a gene. Chromatids are identical copies of a chromosome that are joined at the centromere. A chromosome is a compact structure made up of DNA and protein that carries genetic information. The centromere is a region on a chromosome that serves as the attachment site for spindle fibers during cell division. The kinetochore is a protein structure that forms on the centromere during cell division, which helps to attach the spindle fibers to the chromosome.
