Q. A telocentric chromosome of metaphase consists of:
- One centromere, one arm, and two chromatids
- One centromere, two arms, and two chromatids
- One centromere, one arm, and one chromatid
- One centromere, two arms, and one chromatid
Q. When the centromere is situated in the middle of two equal arms of chromosomes, the chromosome is referred as :
- Metacentric
- Telocentric
- Sub-metacentric
- Acrocentric
Q. Identify the correct match between the type of chromosomes and the position of the centromere.
