Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
(c) Centromere joins the microtubules of chromosomal spindle fibres and help in the movement of chromosome during cell division. Centromere also plyas an important role in the polymerization of tubulin protein used in the formation of microtubules. Hence it is helpful in attaching the chromosome with spindle fibres.
