Question
Which one of the following statements is incorrect?Group of answer choicesInterphase is a collective name for 3 of the 4 phases in the cell cycle.Duplication of the chromosomes occurs in the first stage of mitosis.Cytokinesis is included in the M phase but is distinct from mitosis.Mitosis leads to two diploid daughter cells, and after meiosis there are four haploid daughter cells.
Solution
The incorrect statement is: "Duplication of the chromosomes occurs in the first stage of mitosis."
This is incorrect because the duplication of chromosomes actually occurs during the S phase of interphase, not during the first stage of mitosis. The first stage of mitosis, known as prophase, involves the condensation of these already duplicated chromosomes, not the duplication itself.
