Model of DNA Condensation by ChrysN

Step 14: Chromosome: Centromere

I (inadvertently) made one of the chromatids shorter but I left it that way since I thought it would look like it was unraveling, I would use this one to connect to the other components of the model (see next step).

Chromatids are joined at the centromere. For my chromosome I just sewed them together with thread.  I connected them at about 1/3 of the length from the end.  Thus making it metacentric.
