  • A-IV, B-I, C-II, D-III
  • A-I, B-II, C-III, D-IV
  • A-II, B-III, C-IV, D-I
Hide Solution

The Correct Option is D

Solution and Explanation

The correct pairings are:
A. Metacentric chromosome - II. A chromosome with a centromere located in the middle, resulting in two equal arms.
B. Sub-metacentric chromosome - III. A chromosome with a centromere positioned slightly off-center, creating two unequal arms.
C. Acrocentric chromosome - IV. A chromosome with a centromere situated near its end, producing one extremely short arm and one very long arm.
D. Telocentric chromosome - I. A chromosome with a terminal centromere.
Consequently, the correct selection is (4): A-II, B-III, C-IV, D-I.
