Question

in a cell that is undergoing mitosis, what happens to the chromosomes after the spindle fibers attach to the centromeres of the chromosomes?

they line up at the equator of the cell.

they replicate to make a new copy of dna.

they are moved to either pole of the cell.

they pair up as homologous chromosomes.

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

In mitosis, after spindle fibers attach to centromeres, chromosomes line up at the cell's equator (metaphase). DNA replication occurs before mitosis (interphase). Chromosomes move to poles in anaphase (after lining up). Homologous chromosome pairing is in meiosis, not mitosis.

Answer:

They line up at the equator of the cell.
