Acrocentric Chromosomes

Acrocentric chromosomes have the centromere visible from the center. This causes a very long and very short arm. These are present in humans.

Submetacentric Chromosomes

Submetacentric chromosomes have the centromere a little away from the center. These are present in humans, such as chromosome 2.
