I thought they were acrocentric (centromere positioned so close
to the end of the chromosome that the short arm of the chromosome
is not visible) rather than telocentric (centromere located
completely at the terminal end of the chromosome).
View page
4 basic types of chromosomes , metacentric , submetacentric ,
acrocentric and telocentric .

A metacentric chromosome has two equal arms because the
centromere can be found in the median position. A telecontric
chromosome, on the other hand, is like a straight rod. Its
centromere is in the terminal position.

Metacemtric is chromosomes where the arms are equal. Submetricus
is when the chromosome arms are unequal.A telocentric chromosomes
are chromosomes centromere is located at the terminal end of the
chromosome.Telomeres may extend from both ends of the
chromosome.
