8 views3 pages

Document Summary

Learning objectives: contrast the dna sequences dictating centromere formation in yeast and in higher. 12. 5 chromosome segregation eukaryotes: describe spindle attachment during metaphase and the role tension on kinetochores plays in ensuring proper chromosome segregation, compare the behavior of cohesin complexes during mitosis, meiosis i, and meiosis ii. Kitentochore attachment: kinetochores assemble at centromeres, chromosomes attach to microtubules of mitotic spindle at the kinetochore. H3 / cenp-a: chromatin is packaged differently at the centromere, h3 is replaced by histone variant cenp-a, cenp-a nucleosomes act as scaffolds for many kinetochore proteins. Action of cohesin during mitosis: cohesin is a protein complex that holds sister chromatids together during metaphase, at anaphase, cohesin is enzymatically cleaved and sister chromatids are released from each other. Action of cohesin during meiosis i: at anaphase i, cohesin along chromosome arms is enzymatically cleaved but cohesin at centromeres is not cleaved.
