Kinetochores control the transition from metaphase to anaphase. Why is this statement true?   Question 7 options:   a)  Anaphase will only begin after the M checkpoint where all the kinetochores and mitotic spindle have correctly attached.   b)  Anaphase will only begin after the M checkpoint where all the mitotic spindle have correctly formed.   c)  Kinetochores bind to microtubules in monotelic attachment to the sister chromatids.   d)  Kinetochores bind to microtubules in syntelic attachment to the sister chromatids.   e)  Kinetochores will halt at the M checkpoint to weaken the mitotic spindle formation, which is the event that initiates anaphase.
