Question
what would happen if spindle fibers failed to form during the cell cycle?
○ the chromatin of the parent cell would not condense into chromosomes.
○ the result would be two daughter cells without a nuclear membrane to separate the chromosome cytoplasm.
○ the parent cell would not be able to replicate its dna.
○ the chromosomes of the parent cell would not divide.
○ the parent cell would have two nuclei, each with a complete set of chromosomes.
○ the parent cell would have two nuclei, each with a complete set of chromosomes.
Spindle fibers are crucial for chromosome separation during cell division. Without them, chromosomes can't be pulled apart to opposite poles. Chromatin condensation (first option) occurs in prophase before spindle - fiber formation. DNA replication (third option) happens in S - phase, independent of spindle fibers. Nuclear membrane formation (second option) is a later event. If spindle fibers fail, chromosomes don't divide (correct option), not that the parent cell has two nuclei with complete sets (last two options are incorrect as the main issue is chromosome non - division due to lack of spindle - fiber - mediated separation).
