Answer: Precipitation

Grasslands are characterized as lands covered by grasses rather than large shrubs or trees. Grasslands are found in regions which receives rainfall that are not enough for the growth of forests. Desert covers about one fifth of the Earth's surface and occur where rainfall is less than 50 cm/year. Rainfall are least frequent in deserts as compared to grassland. The desert-grassland boundaries can change as a result of precipitation. The fate of land form of boundary will be dependent upon precipitation. As, if the boundary receives moderate or sufficient rainfall to grow vegetation then it will be included in the grassland and if the boundary receives no or scanty rainfall then boundary will be included in desert region.

Acentric chromosomes, which lack centromeres, can form as a result of chromosome breakage or as a consequence of inversion with
Furkat [3]

Answer:

It wouldn't be able to migrate to the cell's poles.

Explanation:

During anaphase, microtubules attach the chromosome's centromeres and start dragging them towards the poles of the cell. In mitosis, this causes the separation of both sister chromatids for each chromosome, and each chromatid migrates to a different pole. In meiosis, first each homologous chromosome is separated by the same process, and then the sister chromatids are separated during anaphase II. If a chromosome doesn't have centromeres, microtubules are unable to attach the chromosomes, and so the separation of either sister chromatids or homologous chromosomes can't take place.
