Select the incorrect statement with reference to mitosis.

A

Splitting of centromere occurs at anaphase.

B

All the chromosomes lie at the equator at metaphase.

C

Spindle fibres attach to centromere of chromosomes.

D

Chromosomes decondense at telophase

Step-by-Step Solution

small disc-shaped structures at the surface of the centromeres are called kinetochores. The text explicitly states that 'These structures serve as the sites of attachment of spindle fibres to the chromosomes'. Therefore, spindle fibres attach to kinetochores, not directly to the centromere.
