Solution:

Explanation:
Type of chromosome Position of the centromere
Metacentric Middle with 2 equal arms of the chromosome (v-shaped).
Sub-metacentric Slightly away from the centre of the chromosome, one arm loner, other being shorter (l-shaped).
Acrocentric Close to one of the ends of the chromosome, resulting in one arm being extremely long and other being very short (j-shaped).
Telocentric Terminal centromere (i-shaped).
