A stylized depiction of a condensed eukaryotic chromosome with a centrally positioned primary constriction, indicating a metacentric centromere. Two sister chromatids are shown aligned and joined at the centromere, forming arms of roughly equal length. In the biological hierarchy, chromatids form the chromosome, which resides within the nucleus of a eukaryotic cell. In cytogenetics and cell biology, this nucleoprotein structure packages DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) and ensures accurate segregation during mitosis and meiosis.
