A) the histones are too positively charged.
B) the histones are not sufficiently positively charged.
C) cyclin levels are inappropriate.
D) there is a defect in the spindle apparatus.
E) there is a defect in the cell wall.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Difficulty in separating sister chromatids during mitosis indicates a defect in the spindle apparatus, which is responsible for separating chromatids during cell division. Histone charge and cyclin levels are not directly involved in this process, and the cell wall is not involved in mitotic processes.
