remain attached when microtubule is growing • and shrinking growing shrinking Kinetochore The many functions of the kinetochore Microtubule - - attach sister chromatid to microtubule plus end • allow regulation of attachment to ensure • biorientation • send signals that block anaphase • when attachment is incorrect + • generate force to move chromosomes Centromere DNA
