The correct answer is
A and C only

Chromosome Types Based on Centromere Position

Chromosomes are classified into different types based on the location of their centromere. The question presents four types: Metacentric, Submetacentric, Telocentric, and Acrocentric, along with their defining characteristics.

Analyzing Centromere Position Definitions

Let's examine the definitions provided in the question for each chromosome type:

  • A. Meta centric: Centromere in the middle.
  • B. Submetacentric: Centromere at the end.
  • C. Telocentric: Terminal Centromere.
  • D. Acrocentric: Centromere is close to middle.

Evaluating Statement Correctness

Based on the definitions given in the question:

  • Statement A correctly defines a Metacentric chromosome (centromere in the middle).
  • Statement B incorrectly defines a Submetacentric chromosome. A centromere at the end corresponds to a Telocentric chromosome.
  • Statement C correctly defines a Telocentric chromosome (terminal centromere).
  • Statement D incorrectly defines an Acrocentric chromosome. Acrocentric chromosomes have the centromere very close to one end, not close to the middle.

Therefore, statements A and C accurately describe the chromosome types according to the definitions provided.

Selecting the Correct Option

The question asks to choose the correct answer from the given options. Since statements A and C are identified as correct based on the provided definitions, the correct option is the one that includes only A and C.

Option C lists 'A and C only', which aligns with our evaluation.
