The chromocenter is a term used in biology and cytogenetics to describe the region of a cell's nucleus where the centromeres of two chromosomes come together and form a single structure. This occurs during metaphase of mitosis, when the chromosomes are condensing and preparing to separate. The chromocenter is a characteristic feature of the metaphase stage and can be seen under a microscope. It is also known as the centromere overlap or the centromere pair.
