Answer:

Because centric fusions modify the chromosome number

Step-by-step explanation:

The centric fusion is a translocation that involves acrocentric chromosomes. During cell division, pairs of homologous chromosomes are aligned on the equatorial plane and subsequently they move to opposite poles in the cell.
