Solution
The correct option is D Telomere A chromosome has
2 or 4 chromosomal arms
1 or 2 chromatids
1 centromere
2 or 4 telomeres
Since a chromosome can have 2 chromatids and 4 telomeres, both may be the correct answer. So this question is most likely a wrong question.
It is possible to modify the question into "Which of the following occurs more than two (instead of one) and less than five in a chromosome?
And this would give us the answer as the telomere.
