Answer 2

The chromosome having maximum difference in length of its arms are

Acrocentric chromosomes.

Explanation:

• The whereabouts of the centromeres were used to name the chromosomes. This is measured in the "long arm to short arm" ratio.

• Submetacentric (ratio 1.7–3.0) , Subtelocentric (ratio 3.0–7.0) acrocentric (ratio greater than 7.0), and telocentric (chromosome with only one arm).
• Humans contain five pairs of acrocentric chromosomes by default. An additional acrocentric chromosome causes Down syndrome (chromosome21).
