Answer 2

Four different types of chromosomes with same size are Metacentric, submetacentric, acrocentric, telocentric.  

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

• Metacentric chromosome where centromere is present at the middle region of the chromosome and the both parts are the same in size.
• Submetacentric chromosome where the centromere is slightly placed off to the centre so the size of the both parts of chromosome is slightly different.
• Acrocentric chromosome where the centromere creates a long part of the chromosomal section and the other part of the chromosome is very short.
• Telocentric chromosome where the centromere is placed at end point of the chromosome.
