  • Question
  • Which of the following statements about mitosis is incorrect?


  • Options
  • A. The daughter nuclei are genetically identical to the parent nucleus
  • B. Chromosomes separate during anaphase due to the interaction of polar microtubules from opposite poles pushing against each other
  • C. Chromosomes separate during anaphase when the kinetochore microtubules shorten as they depolymerize
  • D. Chromosomes move to the metaphase plate using motor proteins, a kind of kinesin, attached to spindle fibers

  • Correct Answer
  • Chromosomes separate during anaphase due to the interaction of polar microtubules from opposite poles pushing against each other
