Match List I with List II
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
| List I (Type of chromosome) | List II (Shape of chromosome) |
|---|---|
| (A). Acrocentric | (I). i shaped |
| (B). Metacentric | (II). L shaped |
| (C). Telocentric | (III). j shaped |
| (D). Submetacentric | (IV). V shaped |
Options
- A(A) - (I), (B) - (II), (C) - (III), (D) - (IV)
- B(A) - (II), (B) - (IV), (C) - (I), (D) - (III)
- C(A) - (I), (B) - (II), (C) - (IV), (D) - (III)
- D(A) - (III), (B) - (IV), (C) - (I), (D) - (II)
Correct answer
D. (A) - (III), (B) - (IV), (C) - (I), (D) - (II)
Step-by-step solution
Based on the position of the centromere, chromosomes are classified into four types, and their shapes during anaphase are as follows:
Metacentric chromosomes have the centromere in the middle, forming two equal arms. They appear V-shaped during anaphase. Thus, (B) matches (IV).
Submetacentric chromosomes have the centromere slightly away from the middle, forming one shorter arm and one longer arm. They appear L-shaped during anaphase. Thus, (D) matches (II).
Acrocentric chromosomes have the centromere situated close to its end, forming one extremely short and one very long arm. They appear j-shaped during anaphase. Thus, (A) matches (III).
Telocentric chromosomes have a terminal centromere. They appear i-shaped during anaphase. Thus, (C) matches (I).
The correct matching is (A) - (III), (B) - (IV), (C) - (I), (D) - (II).
Answer: (A) - (III), (B) - (IV), (C) - (I), (D) - (II)
