Assertion: Metaphase II begins with splitting of centromere of each chromosome into two.
Reason: In Anaphase II chromosomes align at the equator.

A

If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explantion of assertion

B

If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explnantion of assertion.

C

If assertion is true but reason is false.

D

If both assertion and reason are false.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
During metaphase II the chromosomes align at the equator. The microtubules from opposite poles of the spindle get attached to kinetochores of sister chromatids. Anaphase II begins with the simultaneous splitting of the centroemre of each chromosome into two. Consequently. the daughter chromosomes move towards the opposite poles of the cell.
