Question

Select an Incorrect statement w.r.t. metaphase.

• A. Sphindle fibres are attached to small disc shaped structure at the surface of centromeres called kinetochores
• B. The plane of alignment of the homonogous pair of chromosomes at metaphase is referred to as metaphasic plate.
• C. Chromosomes appears to be made up two sister chromatids
• D. The shape of chromosomes can be studied in this phase

Answer 1

The correct option is D The shape of chromosomes can be studied in this phase

Metaphase is the second phase of karyokinasis of both mitosis and meiosis.

In this chromosomes appears to be made up of two sister chromatids. Spindles fibres are attached to the kinetochores of centromere. In meiosis, homologous chromosomes are arranged along the centre or equator of the spindle apparatus. In this, structure of the chromosome can be studied.

So, the correct option is ' the shape of the chromosomes can be studied in this phase'.
