All the following key events take place during telophase of mitosis except:
1. Chromosomes cluster at the opposite spindle poles
2. Chromosomes become discrete
3. Nuclear envelope reforms
4. Nucleolus, ER and Golgi complex reform
Identify the incorrect statement regarding cytokinesis:
| 1. | Animal cells divide by cleavage furrow |
| 2. | Cell plate formation takes place during cytokinesis in plant cells |
| 3. | The cell wall formation in plant cells starts near the existing lateral walls and grows inwards |
| 4. | At cytokinesis, mitochondria and plastids are distributed between daughter cells |
At the metaphase plate:
| 1. | The sister chromatids of a chromosome are connected by their kinetochores to the spindle fibers from the same pole |
| 2. | The non sister chromatids of a chromosome are connected by their kinetochores to the spindle fibers from the same pole |
| 3. | The sister chromatids of a chromosome are connected by their kinetochores to the spindle fibers from the opposite poles |
| 4. | The non sister chromatids of a chromosome are connected by their kinetochores to the spindle fibers from the opposite poles |
During which stage of mitosis do the following events occur?
I. Centromeres split and chromatids separate
II. Chromatids move to opposite poles
