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).

Humans have what kind of chromosomes?
4 basic types of chromosomes , metacentric , submetacentric , acrocentric and telocentric .
What is metacemtricussubmetacentricus and telocentricus?
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.
What is telocentric chromosome?
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.
What is the haploid Number of a Cow?
A cow has 60 chromosomes. At half the number of chromosomes, the haploid number for a cow would be 30.
How many acrocentric chromosomes does a mouse have?
Diploid chromosome number in standard laboratory mice (genus Mus) is 40: 19 autosomes and the X and Y sex chromosomes. Whereas the autosomes and the X Chromosome are telocentric (centromere at one end of the chromosome), the Y chromosome is acrocentric
What are chromosome types?
They are typed as telocentric acrocentric
How many chromosomes do Cow have?
There is no such thing as a "cow egg." Cows don't lay eggs, they give birth to live calves, since they are mammals, not birds. Thus, a baby calf would have the same number of chromosomes as its mother.
Can a moose and a cow produce offspring?
No, they cannot because their chromosomes are different.
How many chromosomes do cow eggs have?
There is no such thing as a "cow egg." Cows don't lay eggs, they give birth to live calves, since they are mammals, not birds. Thus, a baby calf would have the same number of chromosomes as its mother.
For what reasons might a cell use meiosis?
All human cells have 46 chromosomes, 23 pairs. In sexual reproduction, if an egg and a sperm each with 46 chromosomes joined then the zygote would have 92 chromosomes. To keep this from happening, cells undergo meiosis. In meiosis the cells replicate the chromosomes and divide then divide again so they end up with only 23 chromosomes. Cells with half the number of chromosomes are called gametes.
What are P and Q arms of a chromosome?
The p arm is the shorter arm of the chromosome. The q arm is the longer arm. For chromosomes which are metacentric, the arms tend to be the same length. For submetacentric, acrocentric, or telocentric, the p and q arms show clear differences in length- and thus are classified accordingly.
How do autosomal chromosomes differ from chromosomes?
Autosomal chromosomes are all non-sex (X or Y) chromosomes.
