Question

classify the chromosomes based on the position of centromere​

Answer 1

Answer:

Chromosomes are classified into four types based on the position of the centromere. These are metacentric, sub-metacentric, telocentric and acrocentric. ... In this, centromere divides chromosome into two equal arms. A chromosome having centromere slightly away from the center is called as sub-metacentric chromosome.

Answer 2

   TYPE                   POSITION OF THE CENTROMERE                     SHAPE

1. Metacentric                  centre equal arms                                      V shape

2. Submetacentric        slighty away from the centre                        L shape    

                                           unequal arms

3. Acrocentric               close to the end forming                              J shape  

4. Telocentric                  terminal                                                       i  shape
