Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A chromosome that results when the centromere splits in the wrong plane during meiosis, forming identical arms, is called an isochromosome. Ring chromosomes are circular chromosomes that result from the loss of genetic material from both ends of a linear chromosome. Metachromosomes and parachromosomes are not recognized terms in genetics. Tetraploid chromosomes have four copies of each chromosome, rather than the usual two copies.
