Which statement about mitosis is not true? A single nucleus gives rise to two identical daughter nuclei. The daughter nuclei are genetically identical to the parent nucleus. The centromeres separate at the onset of anaphase. Homologous chromosomes synapse in prophase. The centrosomes organize the microtubules of the spindle fibers.
