I think you're looking for osmosis.

Osmosis is a kind of method where substances used to flow from a place to another. Osmosis is where water molecules flow from a region of higher water potential to a region of lower water potential, through a partially permeable membrane.

A partially permeable membrane means that membrane can select what can go through or not. Also, osmosis must be the flow of water, nothing else.

The button-like structure that holds homologous chromosomes together at their middles during cell division is called the
Volgvan

Answer:

CENTROMERE

Explanation:

The CENTROMERE is the primary constriction region where the identical DNA molecules are most tightly bonded to each other during mitosis and meiosis.

The typical chromosome in metaphase is composed of two sister chromatids joined by the centromere.

Surrounding the centromere, we can find the kinetochores. These are laminar proteinic structures forming a plate where the spindle and kinetochore fibers will join during chromatids separation.

The position of the centromere defines the chromosomes as acrocentric, metacentric, or submetacentric.
