The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the type of chromosome with the centromere located at one end, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Centromere**: - The centromere is a constricted region on a chromosome that divides it into two arms: the short arm (designated as "p") and the long arm (designated as "q"). 2. **Classification of Chromosomes Based on Centromere Position**: - Chromosomes are classified based on the position of the centromere: - **Metacentric Chromosome**: The centromere is located at the center, resulting in two equal arms. - **Submetacentric Chromosome**: The centromere is located slightly off-center, creating one shorter arm and one longer arm. - **Acrocentric Chromosome**: The centromere is located closer to one end, resulting in one very short arm and one long arm. - **Telocentric Chromosome**: The centromere is located at one end of the chromosome, resulting in one arm only. 3. **Identifying the Correct Answer**: - The question specifically asks for a chromosome where the centromere is at one end. - Based on the definitions provided, the correct answer is **Telocentric Chromosome**. ### Final Answer: The chromosome with the centromere at one end is called a **Telocentric Chromosome**. ---
