question 22

Multiple Choice

• B)The S-phase nucleus undergoes premature chromosomal condensation to form a set of elongated compacted chromosomes.
• C)The M phase nucleus is affected in such a way that its compacted chromosomes decondense.
• D)The chromatin in the S-phase nuclei is compacted,but pulverized chromosomal fragments form.
• E)The S-phase nucleus undergoes premature chromosomal condensation; the compacted chromosomes are visibly doubled.
