Anaphase promoting complex (APC) is a protein degradation machinery necessary for proper mitosis of animal cells. If APC is defective in a human cell, which of the following is expected to occur? (1) Chromosomes will be fragmented (2) Chromosomes will not segregate (3) Recombination of chromosome arms will occur (4) Chromosomes will not condense

Correct option:(2)Chromosomes will not segregate 

Solution:

  • Anaphase Promoting Complex (APC) is a protein necessary for separation of daughter chromosomes during anaphase.
  • If APC is defective then the chromosomes will fail to segregate during anaphase.
