Question
In _________ type of chromosome, the centromere is located at the sub-terminal region.
- Acrocentric
- Telocentric
- Metacentric
- Sub-metacentric
Hint:
Acrocentric chromosome
The correct answer is: Acrocentric
The centromere of an acrocentric chromosome is located so that one of the chromosome arms is significantly shorter than the other.
The centromere is located near the end of the chromosome rather than in the center.
The prefix "acro-" corresponds to the Greek word for "peak." Six acrocentric chromosomes make up the human genome.
