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 clos
