Hello... Here is your answer
CENTRIOLE
In cell biology a centriole is a cylindrical cellular organelle composed mainly of a protein called tubulin. Centrioles are found in most eukaryotic cells. An bound pair of centrioles, surrounded by a shapeless mass of dense material, called the pericentriolar material (PCM), makes up a structure called a centrosome.
CENTROMERE
The centromere is the specialized DNA sequence of a chromosome that links a pair of sister chromatids (a dyad). During mitosis, spindle fibers attach to the centromere via the kinetochore. Centromeres were first thought to be genetic loci that direct the behavior of chromosomes.
CHAISMA
A point at which paired chromosomes remain in contact during the first metaphase of meiosis, and at which crossing over and exchange of genetic material occur between the strands.
