The chromosomes in which centromere is situated close to one end are :

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

Answer

(4) Acrocentric

Solution

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

Metacentric – centromere in the middle, two equal arms.

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

Acrocentric – centromere situated close to its end, one extremely short and one very long arm.

Telocentric – terminal centromere.

∴ Centromere close to one end ⇒ acrocentric chromosome.
