<prompt> Centromere near the end of chromosomeAcrocentricMetacentricSubmetacentricTelocentric  <response>: Acrocentric REF: Precid Strachan Molecular genetics, page 49, 153, CentromereCentromere positionsEach chromosome has two arms, labeled p the shoer of the two and q the longer. The p arm is named for petit meaning small; the q arm is named q simply because it follows p in the alphabet. q refers to the French word queue meaning tailMetacentric: A chromosome is metacentric if its two arms are roughly equal in length. In some cases, a metacentric chromosome is formed by balanced Robesonian translocation: the fusion of two acrocentric chromosomes to form one metacentric chromosome. Example 1, 3, 16, 19, 20.Submetacentric: If arms lengths are unequal, the chromosome is said to be Submetacentric. Example-X chromosome, 2, 4, 12 , 17, 18Acrocentric: If the p sho arm is so sho that is hard to observe, but still present, then the chromosome is acrocentric The acro- in acrocentric refers to the Greek word for peak. The human genome includes acrocentric Y-chromosomes, 13, 14, 15, 21 and 22Telocentric: A telocentric chromosomes centromere is
