Acentric fragment of a chromosome (generated by breakage) lacks a centromere and is lost cell division. Acrocentric chromosome has the centromere located nearer one end than the other. Active site is the restricted part of a protein to which a substrate binds. Allele is one of several alternative forms of a gene occupying a given locus on a
