X-chrosome is _________?
Correct answer: B. Submetacentric
- A. Telocentric
- B. Submetacentric
- C. Acrocentric
- D. Acentric
Explanation
The human X chromosome is classified as submetacentric because its centromere is slightly away from the middle, giving arms of unequal length. Students may choose metacentric if they treat the arms as equal, but the centromere of the X chromosome is not exactly central.
