Question
The figure above shows a metaphase in which one chromosome is only connected to the spindle by a single kinetochore, thus the sister chromatids may not separate correctly during anaphase. which of the following statement/s is/are correct;

Transcribed Image Text:The figure above shows a metaphase in which one chromosome is only connected to the spindle by a single kinetochore,
thus the sister chromatids may not separate correctly during anaphase. which of the following statement/s is/are correct;
Misaligned
chromosome
Metaphase
Select one or more
O a This error will have no impact on development
O b After telophase, one cell will lose a chromosome and the other cell will gain a
c This might lead to serious disorders such as Down Syndrome in which a person has an extra copy of chromosome 21
O d. This error will be corrected later before telophase
e The cell with a missing chromosome can never survive
