Answer 1

Answer:

Chromosomes are classified into four types based on the position of the centromere.

• Metacentric
• Sub-metacentric
• Telocentric
• Acrocentric

Metacentric-A chromosome having centromere at the center is called as metacentric chromosome. In this, centromere divides chromosome into two equal arms.

Sub-metacentric-A chromosome having centromere slightly away from the center is called as sub-metacentric chromosome.

Telocentric-A chromosome having a terminal centromere is called as telocentric chromosome.

Acrocentric-A chromosome having centromere close to one of the end is called as acrocentric chromosome.
