Question

Four of the five answers below are related by a common phase of mitosis. Select the exception. Group of answer choices chromosomes align at the spindle equator sister chromatids become individual chromosomes centromeres divide the chromosomes move apart spindle microtubules shorten, pulling chromosomes toward the poles

Answer 1

The correct answer is - chromosomes align at the spindle equator.

Step-by-step explanation:

Chromosomes move and align at the spindle equator during the metaphase stage of mitosis and other given events take place during the anaphase stage of the mitosis cell division. Metaphase is the second phase of the M-phase of mitosis division whereas anaphase is the third phase.

The metaphase is characterized by the alignment of the chromosomes at the equator whereas the anaphase is separating the chromosomes pulled towards the poles and division of centromeres.
