Multiple Choice Spindle disappears Nuclear envelopes reassemble Sister chromatids separate Chromosomes align along equatorarrow_forward
- The centromeric connections between chromatids fail to be severed. Kinetochores from sister chromatids become attached to microtubules from the same pole. A motor protein at the kinetochore is not functional. The chromosomes fail to attach to the kinetochore microtubules. Chromosomes will not move to the metaphase plate. Chromatids will not separate during anaphase. One kinetochore will detach from the spindle. Chromosomes will not move toward centrosome during prometaphase.arrow_forwardDuring meiosis, homologous sets of four chromatids are lined up along the cell's equator, attached to spindle fibers.
