How can you use “centromere” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:

Studies of cohesion at the centromere reveal that as little as 100 bp (a portion of CDEII and the entire CDEIII) are required to direct cohesion [13,14,19].
It is noteworthy that none of the regions in which we found some evidence for linkage, either tentative or suggestive, are similar to the regions detected in another recent genome-wide scan for IA susceptibility genes [ 53 ] . Although our study found evidence for a region with tentative linkage on chromosome 7q, the region identified in this study is near the telomere and does not overlap with the region of suggestive linkage near the centromere on 7q identified in Onda et al.
Also, two small, tightly-spaced clusters of STRPs are included in Set 12 (six STRPs near the centromere of chromosome 11 and three STRPs on the short arm of chromosome 1) for the purpose of gauging linkage disequilibrium.
However, only about 50% of diploid meiotic products from rec12-D15 (null) mutant meioses were heterozygous for centromere linked markers (Figure 5E), indicating that some fraction of the products were derived from precocious separation of sister chromatids (PSS) and/or MII nondisjunction (Figure 5C, 5D).
First, cohesion close to the centromere facilitates bi-orientation of chromosomes, such that each chromosome becomes attached to the two poles of the spindle [6].
