Question

How to define chromosome

Answer 1

Hi Noshee,

 

Three main components that define and classify a chromosome are centromere, telomeres and chromosomal arms. The position of centromeres and arms define the type or class of chromosomes such acrocentric, metacentric, sub metacentric. Telomeres are necessary for maintaining chromosome integrity.

 

Hope this helps.
