Question
Which of the following statements is FALSE?Group of answer choicesDuring metaphase the replicated chromosomes line up along the middle of the cellDuring anaphase, the chromosomes are starting to condense before they separateDuring G1 of interphase a cell growsA pluripotent cell can become a greater number of different cell types in comparison to a multipotent cell
Solution
The false statement is: "During anaphase, the chromosomes are starting to condense before they separate."
In reality, chromosomes condense during prophase, which is before metaphase and anaphase. By the time the cell reaches anaphase, the chromosomes have already condensed and are being pulled apart to opposite ends of the cell.
