The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to identify the terms that fill in the blanks regarding the structure of a chromosome. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Chromosome Structure**: - A chromosome consists of two sister chromatids joined together. The point where these two chromatids are joined is crucial for chromosome function during cell division. 2. **Identifying Primary Construction**: - The term "primary construction" refers to the specific region of the chromosome where the two chromatids are connected. This region is known as the **centromere**. 3. **Identifying Disc-Shaped Structures**: - On either side of the centromere, there are structures that play a vital role during cell division. These structures are called **kinetochores**. Kinetochores are protein complexes that form on the centromere and are essential for the attachment of spindle fibers during mitosis. 4. **Final Answer**: - Therefore, the complete statement is: "Every chromosome essentially has a primary construction or the **centromere**, on the sides of which disc-shaped structures called **kinetochores** are present." ### Answer: C. centromere kinetochores ---
