Question
Why is a chromosome with two centromeres (a
dicentric chromosome) unstable? Would a backup cen-
tromere not be a good thing for a chromosome, giving it
two chances to form a kinetochore and attach to microtu-
bules during mitosis? Would that not help to ensure that
the chromosome did not get left behind at mitosis?
