The correct option is D 2,1
A chromosome is made up of 2 chromatids which are joined together by the centromere. The two paired shorter sections of chromatid on one side of the centromere are called the p-arms of the chromosome, while the longer portions on the opposite side of the centromere are called the q-arms.
