Question

Chromosomes with equal arms:

• A. Metacentric chromosome
• B. Submetacentric chromosome
• C. Telocentric chromosome
• D. Acrocentric chromosome

Hint:

The position of the centromere determines the classification of chromosomes.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Understanding chromosome morphology
Metacentric chromosomes have equal arms due to the centromere being positioned centrally.
Submetacentric chromosomes have slightly unequal arms.
Acrocentric chromosomes have one very short arm and one long arm.
Telocentric chromosomes have a centromere at one end with only one arm.
Final Answer:
\[ \text{Metacentric chromosome} \]
