Which of the following is not a characteristic feature during mitosis in somatic cells?
Spindle fibres
Disappearance of nucleolus
Chromosome movement
Synapsis
To solve this problem, we need to identify which feature is not characteristic of mitosis in somatic cells. Let's analyze each option:Spindle fibres: - During mitosis, spindle fibres form to help separate the chromosomes into the daughter cells. - This is a characteristic feature of mitosis.Disappearance of nucleolus: - The nucleolus disappears during prophase of mitosis as the chromatin condenses. - This is a characteristic feature of mitosis.Chromosome movement: - Chromosomes move to the equatorial plane during metaphase and are pulled apart during anaphase. - This is a characteristic feature of mitosis.Synapsis: - Synapsis is the pairing of homologous chromosomes that occurs during prophase I of meiosis, not mitosis. - This is not a characteristic feature of mitosis.Therefore, the correct answer is Option 4: Synapsis, as it is not a feature of mitosis in somatic cells.
