On rare occasions, a chromosome can suffer a small deletion that removes the centromere. When this occurs, the chromosome usually is not found within subsequent daughter cells. Explain why a chromosome without a centromere is not transmitted very efficiently from mother to daughter cells. (Note: If a chromosome is located outside the nucleus after telophase, it is degraded.)
