Question

Select the incorrect match regarding mitotic cell division.
(i) Prophase - Chromosomes to begin to uncoil
(ii) Metaphase - Chromatids move apart
(iii) Telophase - The nuclear membrane reappears
(iv) Late anaphase- Each chromosome consists of two anaphase chromatids
(v) Interphase - Chromosomes are not distinct

• A. (ii) and (iv) only
• B. (i) and (iii) only
• C. (ii), (iv) and (v) only
• D. (ii) and (v) only

Answer 1

The correct option is A (ii) and (iv) only

Prophase is the first stage when the chromosome begins to uncoil and chromatin is seen. In the metaphase all the chromosome from a single plate. In metaphase on the equatorial plate, chromosome appears as two threaded. during the telophase, the nuclear membrane starts reappearing and the chromosomes disappear.

The interphase is the stage between two dividing phases and the chromosomes are not distinct.

In the late anaphase is chromosome consists of chromatids as they are present on to separate poles.

So, the correct option is '(ii) and (iv) only'
