Explanation

Also known as the monarchial type of chromosomes, they have a centromere that is located towards the end of the chromosome. Thus, telocentric chromosomes have a 'rod' shaped appearance. In some cases, the telomeres extend from both the chromosome ends. The telocentric chromosome is not present in humans.
