Chromosome Types Centromere Position A. Metacentric 1. Centromere near the end, forming one very short and one long arm B. Sub-metacentric 2. Centromere in the middle, forming two equal arms C. Acrocentric 3. Centromere slightly away from the middle, forming one short and one long arm D. Telocentric 4. Centromere at the end, forming one very short arm
Options
- AA - 1, B - 3, C - 2, D - 4
- BA - 4, B - 2, C - 1, D - 3
