2-4G1......./ S......../.........G2......../M.......Two sister chromatids are held together at the centromeric
Each chromosome has a centromere (CEN), reion which contains the kiretochore
CEN divides the chromosome into two arms:
● short arm (P arm)
● lon arm (Q arm)
Each arm terminates in a telomereExplain the metaphase chromosomeThe ratio o the lenths o the two arms is constant or each
chromosome.
This ratio is an important parameter or chromosome identification and allows
classification o chromosomes into several basic morpholoic types:Important thingmetacentric : Has a loner arm.
2-sub-metacentric : Has a shorter arm.
3-acrocentric : Has no arm.
