Kinetochores are found on the centromere of sister chromatids.
There main use is for the accurate alignment of chromosomes which is essential to avoid birth defects by having genomic stability and correct gene transmission.
The chromosome is connected to the Spindle Fibres by their being to the Kinetochore and this interaction allows for segregation of cChromosome during mitosis and meiosis.
