Vedclass · Answer

(B) During cell division,chromosomes must attach to the spindle fibers via the kinetochore located at the centromere to be pulled toward the poles. An acentric chromosome lacks a centromere. Because it cannot attach to the spindle fibers,it cannot be segregated properly to the daughter cells during anaphase. Consequently,acentric chromosomes are often lost or degraded during the process of cell division.

Column-$I$ (Chromosome)	Column-$II$ (Position of Centromere)
$A$. Metacentric	$I$. At the tip
$B$. Submetacentric	$II$. Almost near the tip
$C$. Acrocentric	$III$. At the middle
$D$. Telocentric	$IV$. Slightly away from the middle
