Question

give proper names to the following chromosome types​

Answer 1

Answer:

On the basis of the location of the centromere, chromosomes are classified into four types: metacentric, submetacentric, acrocentric, and telocentric.

Answer 2

Answer:

There are four types of chromosomes depending on the position of the centromere. (i.e., metacentric, submetacentric, acrocentric, telocentric)

Explanation:

• Metacentric chromosome - The centromere is present exactly at the center of the two arms which are equal in length.
• Submetacentric chromosome - The centromere is present a bit away from the center as a result the two arms of the chromosome are unequal.
• Acrocentric chromosome - The centromere is present at almost the end region of the chromosome structure. The term 'Acro' menas 'peak' thus the name indicates terminal positioning of the centromere.
• Telocentric chromosome - The centromere is present at the extreme end or telomeric region thus the name telocentric.
