Classification of Chromosomes
Based upon the position of the centromere, chromosomes are of four types :-
- Metacentric - centromere located in the middle, forming two equal arms of the chromosome
- Submetacentric - centromere located slightly away from the middle, resulting in one arm being longer than the other
- Acrocentric - centromere located close to the end, resulting in one arm being extremely longer than the other
- Telocentric - centromere located at the terminal point
- Satellites - Small fragments that appear due to the non-staining secondary constrictions present at constant locations on the chromosomes
I am so sorry but I can't post any type of diagram ......you can report my answer if it's not helpful
