Question

A particular cell has a mutation that causes it to make defective centromeres. What would you expect to occur during mitosis?

A. The cell membrane would not reform properly
B. The DNA would not replicate
C. The cytoplasm would not divide
D. The sister chromatids may not attach to each other

Answer 1

The correct answer is D Sister Chromatids may not attach to each other.

Step-by-step explanation:

Centromeres are the specific point to which the sister Chromatid binds.That means Centromere function to hold the sister Chromatids.

Now according to the question if mutation causes formation of defective centromere then the normal functioning of that centromere will be hampered.

As a result the sister chromatid may not attach to each other.
