NEET Previous Year Question
Which one of the following never occurs during mitotic cell division?
Topic: NEET PYQ
Answer: D. Full step-by-step solution below.
- ACoiling and condensation of the chromatids
- BSpindle fibres attach to kinetochores of chromosomes
- CMovement of centrioles towards opposite poles
- DPairing of homologous chromosomes
Correct answer: D
Solution
(d) Pairing of homologous chromosomes is called synapsis. It takes place in zygotene stage of prophase-I of meiosis-I. Prophase, metaphase, anaphase and telophase are the four stages of mitotic cell division. Chromosome condensation occurs during prophase. Simultaneously, the centrioles move to the opposite poles. During metaphase, spindle fibres attach to kinetochores of chromosomes.More Cell Cycle & Cell Division PYQs
