Question

if a chromosome contains a mutation such that it cannot bind to the kinetochore complex, what would be the consequence? multiple choice that chromosome would not be able to condense. that chromosome would not be able to interact with histone proteins. that chromosome would not be able to bind to the mitotic spindle. that chromosome would not be able to be replicated.

Explanation:

The kinetochore complex is a protein structure on chromosomes that attaches to the mitotic spindle during cell division. A mutation preventing chromosome-kinetochore binding disrupts this attachment. Chromosome condensation (related to histones), histone interaction, and DNA replication are independent processes not directly linked to kinetochore binding.

Answer:

That chromosome would not be able to bind to the mitotic spindle.
