A Chromosome Handle.....

a: Centromere ~
b: a handle to pull chromosomes

What: "A centromere is like a handle by which newly divided chromosomes are pulled to the daughter cells when the cell divides in two. Some cancer cells have abnormal chromosomes with two "handles", resulting in a tug-of-war between the two cells that can break the chromosome."
