In order to investigate traits associated with the transition from monocentric to holocentric chromosome organisation, researchers compare the phylogenetics of related species with differing centromere types.
A kinetochore is a proteinaceous microtubule-binding structure that forms on the chromosomal centromere during late prophase.
DNA sequences are both necessary and sufficient to specify centromere identity and function in organisms with point centromeres.
If the centromere is inherited epigenetically from one generation to the next, the problem is pushed back to the origin of the first metazoans.
In budding yeasts, the centromere region is relatively small (about 125 bp DNA) and contains two highly conserved DNA sequences that serve as binding sites for essential kinetochore proteins.
Individuals of a pair are equal in length and in position of the centromere.
In most organisms, constitutive heterochromatin occurs around the chromosome centromere and near telomeres.
Metacentric These are X-shaped chromosomes, with the centromere in the middle so that the two arms of the chromosomes are almost equal.
Pairing is brought about in a zipper-like fashion and may start at the centromere (procentric), at the chromosome ends (proterminal), or at any other portion (intermediate).
Subtelocentric If the chromosome's centromere is located closer to its end than to its center, it may be described as subtelocentric.
The centromere is the part of a chromosome that links sister chromatids or a dyad.
The remaining chromosomes are metacentric - the centromere is approximately in the middle - and are rather small.
The two chromatids are joined at a place called centromere.
The two kinetochores associated with a region of the chromosome called the centromere.

Unlike in mitosis, only the cohesin from the chromosome arms is degraded while the cohesin surrounding the centromere remains protected.
