Answer:
See the second attached image showing the gametes from the parent with the location of the centromere indicating the type of chromosome
Explanation:
According to the position of the centromere, chromosomes can be of 4 types namely:
- Metacentric
- Acrocentric
- Telocentric
- Sub-metacentric
A metacentric chromosome is a chromosome that has no short or long arm. The arms are equal in length with the centromere joining the two sister chromatids located at the center.
Acrocentric chromosomes have unequal arm lengths with the centromere skewed towards one end of the chromosome.
Telocentric chromosomes have their centromeres at one end of the chromosome.
Sub-metacentric chromosomes have unequal arm lengths but the centromere is not as skewed to one end of the chromosome length as found in acrocentric chromosome.
The only possible gamete from <em>aa bb</em> parent is <em>ab</em>. Recall that the allele <em>a </em>is located on a metacentric chromosome while allele <em>b </em>is located on acrocentric chromosome.
