Answer: Option C

Solution

Answer: Option C
Solution:
Diffused centromere means Centromere is nonlocalized and spread over the chromosome.
Diffuse centromeres - in asexual organisms where the offspring is an exact genetic copy of the parent, there are limited sources of genetic variability.
The chromosomes are characterized by large size, sinuous shape, and sticky matrix; the chromatids are parallel at anaphase, separate at metaphase throughout their length; the centromere is 'diffuse'.
