Solution
Telocentric chromosomes are rod-shaped.
Explanation:
Telocentric chromosomes have their centromere located at the very tip or terminal end of the chromosome arm. During the anaphase stage of cell division, as spindle fibres pull the chromosome toward the pole from this extreme end, it appears straight and linear, taking on a distinct rod-shaped appearance. In contrast, V-shaped shapes belong to metacentric, J-shaped to acrocentric, and L-shaped to sub-metacentric chromosomes.
