  1. A
    All the chromosomes lie at the equator at metaphase
  2. B
    Spindle fibres attach to centromere of chromosomes
  3. C
    Chromosomes decondense at the telophase stage
  4. D
    Splitting of centromere occurs at anaphase

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

1. In metaphase, chromosomes align at the equatorial plate. True.2. Incorrect statement: Spindle fibres attach to the kinetochores (protein discs on the sides of the centromere), not directly to the centromere itself.3. Chromosomes lose their individuality and decondense in telophase. True.4. Centromeres split during anaphase to separate sister chromatids. True.
