- acrocentric
- telocentric
- sub- metacentric
- None of these

Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is C
Solution and Explanation
The shape of the chromosome is determined by the position of centromere on the chromosome. Chromosomes may be of following five types on the basis of their shape.
(i) Acentric - Centromere remains absent.
(ii) Telocentric - Centromere present at one end of chromosome.
(iii) Acrocentric - When chromosome is divided into a very small segment at one end and a very large segment on the other end.
(iv) Submetacentric-When chromosome have two unequal segments, one of which is slightly larger than other and forms L-shaped chromosome.
(v) Metacentric - When two segments are equal and forming V-shaped structure.

Concepts Used:
Eurkaryotic Cells - Golgi Apparatus
The Golgi apparatus is also known as the Golgi complex or the Golgi body. The term is derived from Camillo Golgi, the scientist who discovered the organelle. It can be found in all eukaryotic cells, including plants and animals. They are membrane-bound organelles found in the cell's cytoplasm.
Formation of acrosome: The acrosome is a component of the tip of animal sperms that aids in the digestion of the egg or ovum covering sheath during fertilisation. The Golgi complex produces it with the help of its vesicles.
