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 occurA. Chromosomes will not condenseB. Chromosomes wiil be fragmentedC. Chromosomes will not segregateD. Recombination of chromosome arms will occur

Answer» Correct Answer - C
If anaphase promoting complex is defective in a human cell, the chromosomes will not segregate during anaphase of mitosis. APC triggers the transition from metaphase to anaphase by tagging specific proteins for degradation.
Concept Enhancer Anaphase stage of meiosis is characterised by two events
(a) Splitting of centromeres and segregation of chromosormes.
(b) Movement of chromatids towards the opposite poles.
