When the centromere is situated in the middle of two equal arms of chromosomes, the chromosome is referred as:
Metacentric
Telocentric
Sub-metacentric
Acrocentric
Solution
The position of a centromere can be metacentric (centromere at the centre), sub-metacentric (centromere near at the centre), acrocentric (centromere near the end) or telocentric (centromere at the end). The metacentric chromosomes take the shape during cell division.
