**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Chromosome Structure**: A chromosome consists of two identical halves called chromatids, which are joined together at a region known as the centromere. 2. **Identifying the Centromere's Position**: The centromere can be located in different positions on a chromosome, which affects the shape and classification of the chromosome. 3. **Defining Metacentric Chromosomes**: When the centromere is located in the middle of the chromosome, it divides the chromosome into two equal arms. This type of chromosome is referred to as a "metacentric chromosome." ...
