Describe the different types of chromosomes.
The different types of chromosomes are,
Metacentric
It is a chromosome with the centromere near the middle and the two chromatics are of equal lengths. Sub-metacentric
Here the centromere is situated slightly closer to one end than the other. Thus one chromatic is slightly longer than the other. Acrocentric
Here the chromosome is situated near one end of the chromosome. Thus one chromatic is very long while the other is very small. Telocentric
Here the centromere is situated at the tip of the chromosome.
