You are observing a sample of cells in the lab to
determine why they did not divide properly. You notice
that the chromosomes are lined up in the middle of
the cell, and the spindle fibers have extended towards
them, but have not attached. What could be
damaged?
A. Mitochondria
B. Centromere
.
C. Nuclear envelope
D. Cytoplasm
The spindle fibers attach to the centromeres via the kinetichore. If they are damaged, the centromeres may not be able to attach to the kinetichore and pull the chromosomes apart.
