Cell : The Unit of Life

Solution:

Centromere is a part of a chromosome that attaches to the spindle during cell division. The position of the centromere is a distinguishing feature of individual chromosomes. A chromosome with the centromere at its centre is described as metacentric; one with the centromere towards one end is acrocentric; and a chromosome with the centromere at either end is telocentric.
