The graphs show various distance measurements taken from metaphase of mitosis onwards. The graphs are to scale when compared to one another. [Figures X, Y, Z showing distance vs time graphs] Which row correctly identifies the distance measurement for each graph? [Table mapping X, Y, Z to distance descriptions]

This question uses a diagram from the original paper, which isn't shown here. Open the full paper from the past papers archive to see it.

Adistance between poles of spindle, distance between sister chromatids, distance of centromeres from poles of spindle
Bdistance between poles of spindle, distance of centromeres from poles of spindle, distance between sister chromatids
Cdistance of centromeres from poles of spindle, distance between poles of spindle, distance between sister chromatids
Ddistance of centromeres from poles of spindle, distance between sister chromatids, distance between poles of spindle

✓ Correct answer

C: distance of centromeres from poles of spindle, distance between poles of spindle, distance between sister chromatids
