• A. Coiling and condensation chromatids
• B. Spindle fibers attach to Kinetochores of chromosomes
• C. Movement of centrioles toward opposite poles
• D. The pairing of homologous chromosomes

Answer 1

Answer:

D. The pairing of homologous chromosomes

The pairing of homologous chromosomes

• During mitotic cell division, chromatins coil and condense, spindle fibers attach to kinetochores of chromosomes, and centrioles move toward opposite poles.

• However, the pairing of homologous chromosomes does not occur during this process.
