i. A telomere is heterochromatic in nature.

ii. The telocentric chromosome has centromere close to its end.

iii. Satellite is located near primary constriction.

iv. Submetacentric chromosomes are L-shaped.

TestHub · Accepted Answer

Telocentric chromosome has centromere at the end of the chromosome and in acrocentric chromosome, centromere is near the end. These centromeres are present in the primary constriction and all chromosomes have primary constriction but some chromosomes during metaphase also show secondary constrictions that are called satellite. They are present in some chromosome and help to identify the chromosome from others.
