Mitosis and Genetic Information Quick Check 5 of 55 of 5 Items Question A scientist looks into a microscope and sees that replicated chromosome pairs are lined up in the center of a cell. The scientist then sees the mitotic spindle from each side of the cell attach to a chromosome. Which mitotic phase is the scientist likely witnessing?(1 point) Responses prophase prophase anaphase anaphase metaphase metaphase telophase telophase Skip to navigation page 11 of 11

Answer 1

The scientist is likely witnessing metaphase. During this phase, replicated chromosome pairs are aligned at the metaphase plate in the center of the cell, and the mitotic spindle fibers attach to the chromosomes.
