उत्तर
| Centrosome | Centromere |
| It is an organelle of the animal cell. | It is a non-stainable part of the chromosome at which two chromatids join. |
| It contains two centrioles, which move towards the opposite poles and form spindle fibres during cell division | It provides attachment of spindle fibres during cell division. |
| They are responsible for the inheritance of characters from parents to offspring. Chromosomes also help in cell division and control various metabolic activities. | It is the region of attachment of the sister chromatids and also the site of attachment to the spindle fibre. |
