The stable attachment of sister kinetochores to microtubules emanating from opposite spindle poles is called:
A)merotelic attachment.
B)syntelic attachment.
C)amphitelic attachment.
D)monotelic attachment.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Amphitelic attachment refers to the proper alignment of sister kinetochores with microtubules emanating from opposite spindle poles, ensuring accurate chromosome segregation during cell division. Merotelic attachment is when one kinetochore is attached to microtubules emanating from both spindle poles, leading to chromosome missegregation. Syntelic attachment is when both sister kinetochores attach to microtubules emanating from the same spindle pole, also leading to chromosome missegregation. Monotelic attachment is when one kinetochore fails to attach to microtubules, which can result in chromosome missegregation or cell cycle arrest.
