MeSH definition : Metacentric chromosomes produced during MEIOSIS or MITOSIS when the CENTROMERE splits
transversely instead of longitudinally. The chromosomes produced by this abnormal
division are one chromosome having the two long arms of the original chromosome, but
no short arms, and the other chromosome consisting of the two short arms and no long
arms. Each of these isochromosomes constitutes a simultaneous duplication and deletion.;
