The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the incorrect statements about metaphase, we will analyze each statement one by one. 1. **Each chromosome with two sister chromatids.** - During metaphase, each chromosome is indeed composed of two sister chromatids that are joined at the centromere. This statement is **correct**. 2. **Best stage to study morphology of chromosomes.** - Metaphase is considered the best stage to study the morphology of chromosomes because they are highly condensed and aligned at the metaphase plate. This statement is **correct**. 3. **Spindle fibres are attached to kinetochore.** - During metaphase, spindle fibers attach to the kinetochores of the chromosomes, which is essential for their movement during cell division. This statement is **correct**. 4. **Each chromatid attaches to two spindle fibres from either poles.** - This statement is **incorrect**. In metaphase, each chromatid is attached to one spindle fiber from one pole and another spindle fiber from the opposite pole, but not two from each pole. Each chromatid has a single attachment to a spindle fiber from each pole, allowing for proper separation during anaphase. 5. **Dissolution of kinetochore.** - The dissolution of the kinetochore does not occur during metaphase; it happens later during anaphase when the sister chromatids are pulled apart. Therefore, this statement is also **incorrect**. Now, summarizing our findings: - The incorrect statements are: - **Each chromatid attaches to two spindle fibres from either poles.** (Option D) - **Dissolution of kinetochore.** (Option E) However, since the question asks for the incorrect ones, we focus on the most clearly incorrect statement regarding spindle fiber attachment. **Final Answer:** The incorrect statement with respect to metaphase is: **Each chromatid attaches to two spindle fibres from either poles.** (Option D) ---
