Submetacentric: The short arm is somewhat shorter than the long arm.

Acrocentric: The short arm is extremely short. The human genome has six acrocentric chromosomes which include: 13, 14, 15, 21, 22 and Y.

Telocentric: The centromere is located at the end of the chromosome. Humans do not normally have this type of chromosome.

Fig. 2.4Centromere locations. Chromosomes can be classified depending on the position of the centromere. In metacentric chromosomes the centromere is located centrally; this is shifted slightly in submetacentric chromosomes with a slightly shorter p‐arm. When the p‐arm is very short the chromosome is referred to as acrocentric, and if the p‐arm is absent telocentric
