Different Types of Chromosomes Depending on Their Centromere Position
Metacentric Chromosomes: The centromere is positioned near the middle, creating arms of roughly equal length.
Submetacentric Chromosomes: The centromere is slightly off-center, resulting in one long arm and one short arm.
Acrocentric Chromosomes: The centromere is located closer to one end, leading to a very short arm and a long arm.
Telocentric Chromosomes: The centromere is at the very end of the chromosome, resulting in a single long arm.
