Options:
A) Condensation $ \to $ arrangement at equator $ \to $ centromere division $ \to $ segregation $ \to $ telophase
B) Condensation $ \to $ nuclear membrane disassembly $ \to $ crossing over $ \to $ segregation $ \to $ telophase
C) Condensation $ \to $ nuclear membrane disassembly $ \to $ arrangement at equator $ \to $ centromere division $ \to $ segregation $ \to $ telophase
D) Condensation $ \to $ crossing over $ \to $ nuclear membrane disassembly $ \to $ segregation $ \to $ telophase
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: C
Solution:
The correct sequence of events during mitosis would be as follows
(i) Condensation of DNA so that chromosomes become visible occurs during early to mid-prophase.
(ii)Nuclear membrane disassembly begins at late prophase or transition to metaphase.
(iii) Arrangement of chromosomes at equator occurs during metaphase, called congression.
(iv) Centromere division or splitting occurs during anaphase forming daughter chromosomes.
(v) Segregation also occurs during anaphase as daughter chromosomes separate and move to opposite poles.
(vi) Telophase leads to formation of two daughter nuclei.
