Centromere :

Answer 13

Centromere : constricted region in a chromosome,
which divides it into two “arms.”

It serves as an attachment site for sister chromatids and spindle fibers.

allowing chromosomes to be pulled to different poles.

Question 14

Kinetochore:

Inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3)

Answer 15

Inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3)-induced calcium release (IICR) .

IP3 is produced by the action of phospholipase C on plasma membrane lipid phosphatidylinositol bisphosphate,

, and IICR is triggered
by the binding of IP3 to its receptor on the endoplasmic reticulum.
