Questions
16 A chromosome with centromere near the middle is called
A metacentric
B submetacentric
C acrocentric
D telocentric

Answer: Option [B]

A chromosome with centromere near the middle is called submetacentric. Submetacentric means that the centromere is positioned below the middle, with one chromosome arm shorter than the other, often resulting in an L shape.

17 X-chrosome is
A Telocentric
B Submetacentric
C Acrocentric
D Acentric

Answer: Option [B]

The correct answer is Submetacentric. The X chromosome is a medium-sized submetacentric chromosome. Banding with Giemsa or 5-bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU)-acridine orange allows it to be easily distinguished from chromosomes 6 and 7 that are the closest submetacentric chromosomes in size.

A Acrocentric
B Telocentric
C Submetacentric
D Acentric

19 A giant chromosome with a number of chromonemeta is
A Lampbrush chromosome
B Hetero chromosome
C Supernumerary chromosome
D Polytene chromosome

They're also known as salivary gland chromosomes because they were discovered in the salivary glands. Because they have a lot of chromonemata, they're called polytene.

A one half of chromosome
B haploid chromosome
C complete chromosome
D duplicate chromosome
