about groups of countries sub national regions Region Europe Refimprove date March 2009 Europe is often divided into regions due to geographical, cultural or historical criteria. Some common divisions are as follows. Directional divisions Groupings by compass directions are the hardest to define in Europe, since among other issues the pure geographical criteria of east and west are often confused with the political meaning these words acquired during the Cold War Era.

There are also physical geographic regions such as the central up lands and the European plain Historical divisions Europe can be divided along many differing historical lines, normally corresponding to those parts that were inside or outside a particular cultural phenomenon, empire or political division. The areas varied at different times, and so it is arguable as to which areas fell into certain areas e.g. are Germany or Britain to be considered Roman Europe as they were only part of the Empire for a brief period, or are the countries of the former communist Yugoslavia to be considered part of Eastern Europe since it was not in the Warsaw Pact .

Several chromosome regions have been defined by convenience in order to talk about gene locations. Most important is the distinction between chromosome region p and chromosome region q . These are Virtuality virtual regions that exist in all chromosome s. During cell division , the molecules that compose chromosomes DNA and protein s suffer a condensation process called the chromatin condensation , and forms a compact and small complex called a chromatid. In diploid organisms, sister chromatids are attached to each other by the centromere . The centromere divides each chromosome into two regions the smaller one, which is the p region, and the bigger one, the q region. Usually, as a convention, the p region is represented in the upper part of an image while the q region is in the bottom part. At either end of a chromosome is a telomere , a cap of DNA that protects the rest of the chromosome from damage. The areas of the p and q regions close to the telomeres are the subtelomere s, or subtelomeric regions. The areas closer to the centromere are the pericentronomic regions. Finally, the interstitial regions are the parts of the p and q regions that are close to neither the centromere nor the telomeres, but are roughly in the middle of p or q .
