Name the three types of centromere in eukaryotes.

Explanation

There are three types of centromere in Eukaryotes. They are as follows:
1. Point Centromere: the type of centromere in which the kinetochore is assembled as a result of protein recognition of specific DNA sequences. Kinetochores assembled on point centromere bind a single microtubule. it is also called as localized centromere. it occurs in budding yeasts.
2. Regional centromere: In regional centromere where the kinetochore is assembed on a variable array of repeated DNA sequences. Kinetochore assembed on regional centromeres bind multiple microtubules. it occurs in fission yeast cell, humans and so on.
3. Holocentromere: The microtubules bind all the along the mitotic chromosome. example: Caenorbabditis elegans (transparent nematode) and may insects.
