Labelling Chromosomes
When the human chromosomes were first labeled they were labeled from longest to shortest with an exception for the X and Y versions of 23. So were the chromosomes for chimps. When chromosome 2 in people was discovered to be a fusion of two chimp chromosomes, 13 and 14, (I think somebody) the chimp chromosomes were pulled out of line and relabeled 2a and 2b.

Genesis 2
17 But of the ponderosa pine, thou shalt not eat of it; for in the day that thou shinniest thereof thou shalt sorely learn of thy nakedness.
18 And we all live happily ever after.

Re: Centromeres
By then, chimp chromosomes 2b and 2a had been known as 2q and 2p respectively for over 30 years!
Wrong, 2q and 2p the are greater and lesser parts of human chromosome 2. Chimp 2a was once chimp 12 (not chimp 14 as I mistakenly remembered). Chimp 2b was once named chimp 13. The centromere in chimp 12 (2a) now divides human 2 into parts p and q. The centromere in chimp 13 (2b) now resides in human 2p, the lesser part, and is dormant.
