Question

Where is the centromere in submetacentric chromosomes?

Answer 1

Centromere:

1. Its location on the chromosome varies.
2. The centromere of metacentric chromosomes is placed halfway between the ends of the chromosome, dividing the two arms.

Submetacentric chromosomes:

1. Submetacentric chromosomes are those with centromeres that are visible off-center.
2. Submetacentric chromosomes have a centromere that is somewhat offset from the chromosome's center, resulting in one short and one long arm.
3. The centromere in submetacentric chromosomes is slightly away from its center.
