Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The telocentric chromosome has only one arm (q arm) and lacks a p arm, therefore it has the shortest p arm. Acrocentric chromosomes have a small p arm, but not as short as telocentric. Metacentric and submetacentric chromosomes have long p and q arms of approximately equal length.
