The shorter and longer arms of a submetacentric chromosome are referred to as:

  1. q-arm and p-arm respectively
  2. m-arm and n-arm respectively
  3. s-arm and l-arm respectively
  4. p-arm and q-arm respectively

Answer

(4) p-arm and q-arm respectively

Solution

In a submetacentric chromosome the centromere lies slightly away from the middle, so one arm is shorter than the other.

The shorter arm is called the p-arm (p for petite) and the longer arm the q-arm.
