Which of the following statements is FALSE?
A.
Centrosomes are anchor points for microtubules and are essential to form the mitotic spindle.
B.
In the eukaryotic cell cycle the cell spends much more time in the interphase than in the mitotic phase.
C.
In telophase two nuclear envelopes are fully formed and the cell splits in two via cytokinesis.
D.
The contraction of the kinetochore microtubules leads to the separation of the sister chromatids during anaphase.
