Centromere is a non-stainable area, also called as primary constriction. Secondary constrictions are narrower than the primary constriction. These are necessary for the formation of nucleolus (which is formed in the post mitotic reconstruction phase). The area of a chromosome distal to the nucleolar organiser is called satellite. Satellite may be small and knob like.
