Question
A chromosome with no centromere is called: a. Sub-metacentric b. Holocentric c. Acentric d. Acrocentric
Correct Answer
Option C is the correct answer.
Detailed Explanation
An acentric chromosome is a fragment of a chromosome that lacks a centromere. Without a centromere, it cannot attach to spindle fibers and will not be properly distributed during cell division, often being lost.
Hint
'A-' means without, so without a center.
