When the centromere is situated in the middle of two equal arms of chromosomes, the chromosome is referred as :

  1. Acrocentric
  2. Metacentric
  3. Telocentric
  4. Sub-metacentric

Answer

(2) Metacentric

Solution

As per NCERT, chromosomes are classified by the position of the centromere:

Metacentric – centromere in the middle, forming two equal arms.

Sub-metacentric – centromere slightly away from the middle (one shorter, one longer arm).

Acrocentric – centromere close to one end (one extremely short arm).

Telocentric – centromere at the terminal end.
