Select the incorrect statement with reference to mitosis:
Options
- ASpindle fibres attach to centromere of chromosomes.
- BChromosomes decondense at telophase.
- CSplitting of centromere occurs at anaphase.
- DAll the chromosomes lie at the equator at metaphase.
Correct answer
A. Spindle fibres attach to centromere of chromosomes.
Step-by-step solution
A kinetochore is a disc-shaped protein structure associated with duplicated chromatids in eukaryotic cells where the spindle fibers attach during cell division to pull sister chromatids apart. Spindle fibres attach to the kinetochores which is a proteinaceous assembly formed over the centromere.
