Centromere is a specialized chromatin region in eukaryotic chromosomes that ensures the proper segregation of sister chromatids during mitosis and meiosis. This region serves as the structural platform for the assembly of the multi-subunit protein complex known as the kinetochore, which binds to microtubules. The centromere facilitates the movement of chromosomes toward the cell poles and plays a central role in maintaining genomic integrity. Under light microscopy, it is typically identified as
