Select the correct option with respect to mitosis:

A

Chromosomes move to the spindle equator and get aligned along equatorial plate in metaphase

The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the correct option with respect to mitosis, we will analyze each statement provided in the options. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Mitosis Phases**: Mitosis consists of several phases: prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase. Each phase has distinct characteristics and events. 2. **Evaluating the First Statement**: - **Statement**: "Chromosomes move to a spindle equator and get aligned along the equatorial plate in metaphase." - **Analysis**: This statement is correct. During metaphase, chromosomes align at the metaphase plate (equatorial plane) due to the action of the spindle fibers. 3. **Evaluating the Second Statement**: - **Statement**: "Chromatids separate but remain in the center of the cell in anaphase." - **Analysis**: This statement is incorrect. In anaphase, the sister chromatids separate and move toward opposite poles of the cell. 4. **Evaluating the Third Statement**: - **Statement**: "Chromatids start moving toward opposite pole in telophase." - **Analysis**: This statement is also incorrect. The movement of chromatids toward opposite poles occurs during anaphase, not telophase. 5. **Evaluating the Fourth Statement**: - **Statement**: "Golgi complex and endoplasmic reticulum are still visible at the end of prophase." - **Analysis**: This statement is incorrect. By the end of prophase, the Golgi complex and endoplasmic reticulum are typically no longer visible as they break down. 6. **Conclusion**: After evaluating all the statements, we find that the first statement is the only correct option regarding mitosis. ### Final Answer: The correct option with respect to mitosis is the first statement: "Chromosomes move to a spindle equator and get aligned along the equatorial plate in metaphase." ---
