The correct Answer is:
To solve the question "Chromosomes with unequal length of arms are?", we will analyze the types of chromosomes based on the position of their centromeres. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Chromosome Structure**: - Chromosomes consist of two arms (the sections of the chromosome on either side of the centromere) and a centromere that holds the two chromatids together. 2. **Types of Chromosomes**: - **Metacentric Chromosomes**: These have the centromere located in the middle, resulting in two arms of equal length. Therefore, they do not have unequal lengths. - **Submetacentric Chromosomes**: In these chromosomes, the centromere is slightly off-center, leading to one arm being longer than the other. This means they do have unequal lengths. - **Acrocentric Chromosomes**: Here, the centromere is located closer to one end of the chromosome, resulting in one very short arm and one very long arm. This also means they have unequal lengths. - **Telocentric Chromosomes**: In these chromosomes, the centromere is located at the very end, which also results in one arm being significantly longer than the other. 3. **Identifying the Correct Answer**: - The question asks for chromosomes with unequal lengths of arms. Based on our analysis: - Submetacentric and acrocentric chromosomes both have unequal lengths of arms. - Therefore, the correct answer is that chromosomes with unequal lengths of arms are **submetacentric and acrocentric**. ### Conclusion: The correct answer to the question is that chromosomes with unequal lengths of arms are **submetacentric and acrocentric**. ---
