  1. acrocentric chromosome

    An acrocentric chromosome is a type of chromosome whose centromere is located near one end, causing its shape to resemble an elongated rod. This positioning creates one long arm and one extremely short arm, making the short arm often difficult to observe with a microscope. The short arm usually contains repetitive DNA sequences and is often devoid of genes.
