Identify the correct statements:
(a) In higher plants there is anastral mitosis
(b) Kinetochores serve as the sites of attachment of spindle fibres (formed by the microtubules) to the chromosomes that are moved into position at the centre of the cell during metaphase.
(c) At the beginning of telophase, the chromosomes that have reached their respective poles decondense and regained their individuality and become distinct.
In higher plants, centrioles are absent and no asters are formed. Mitosis without asters is known as anastral mitosis.
Kinetochores serve as the sites of attachment of spindle fibres (formed by the microtubules) to the chromosomes that are moved into position at the centre of the cell during metaphase.
At the beginning of the final stage of karyokinesis, i.e., telophase, the chromosomes that have reached their respective poles decondense and lose their individuality.
