2. 
3. 
4. 

Q. Match the following chromosomes based on the position of their centromeres.

1. Middle
2. Terminal
3. Close to middle
4. Close to end

Q. In metacentric chromosomes:

1. Centromere is located at one end so that there is only one arm.
2. Centromere is non-centrally located so that one arm is longer than the other.
3. Centromere is centrally located so that the two arms are of equal length.
4. Centromere is found at the end so that one arm is very short and the other is long.

Q.
