Each chromosome is made up of condensed DNA which is tightly coiled many times around
proteins called histones and visible under metaphase stage.
It has a constriction point called the centromere, which divides the chromosome into two “arms” -
short arm (p arm) and long arm (q arm).
Depending on the position of centromere the chromosomes are classified morphologically into
metacentric, submetacentric and acrocentric chromosomes
proteins called histones and visible under metaphase stage.
