Chromosome behaviour in mitosis — practice question

The graphs display different distance measurements recorded from the beginning of metaphase of mitosis. The graphs are drawn to scale relative to each other. Which row correctly matches each graph to the distance measurement?

  • AX: distance between poles of spindle; Y: distance of centromeres from poles of spindle
  • BX: distance between poles of spindle; Y: distance between sister chromatids
  • CX: distance of centromeres from poles of spindle; Y: distance between sister chromatids
  • DX: distance of centromeres from poles of spindle; Y: distance between poles of spindle
