Question

In the chromosomes, centromere is centrally located so that the two arms are of equal length.

• A. telocentric
• B. acrocentric
• C. metacentric
• D. submetacentric

Answer 1

The correct option is C metacentric

Centromere is the primary constriction present in the chromosome which divides the chromosome into two arms. In metacentric chromosomes, this centromere is exactly at the mid-point. Due to which, the two arms will be of equal length and the chromosome resembles the alphabet, 'V'.
