The organization seen above in the video is symmetry. The chromosomes (pink) line up in the middle of the cell in a repetitive pattern seen throughout nearly all eukaryotic cells. This organization is integral to all eukaryotic life on the planet.

Great example, Grace! I never would have thought of this, but sure enough there's some very clear organization going on here.
