Solution

The correct option is C 1. Submetacentric 2. Acrocentric 3. Telocentric 4. Metacentric
Chromosomes can be of four different types based on the position of the centromere.

Metacentric chromosomes have the centromere in the centre, such that both arms are of equal length.

Submetacentric chromosomes have the centromere slightly offset from the centre leading to a slight asymmetry in the length of the two arms.

Acrocentric chromosomes have a centromere which is severely offset from the centre, leading to one very long and one very short arm.

Telocentric chromosomes have the centromere at the very end of the chromosome. This chromosome consists of only one arm.
