This pendant depicts a chromosome in the phase of mitosis known as metaphase. Its DNA has been replicated, and packaged into two “sister” chromatids in preparation for cell division (mitosis). At this phase of mitosis, microtubules connect at the chromosome’s centromere, so the cord is part of the design of this necklace.

Cast in genuine pewter (Lead-free), with an antiqued finish to acccntuate its details. A great accessory for geneticists and other biologists, and anyone interested in genealogy!

Comes with an adjustable-length 2mm leather necklace cord.
