the sister chromatids separate from each other, and the individual kinetochores on each chromatid drive their movement to the spindle poles that will define the two new daughter cells. The kinetochore is therefore essential for the chromosome segregation that is classically associated with mitosis and meiosis.

Structure

The kinetochore contains two regions:
* an inner kinetochore, which is tightly associated with the centromere DNA and assembled
