The cell would continue with mitotic division. The cell would undergo meiotic division. The cell would break open. The cell would not divide.
I gave my students this multiple choice question: If a cell is exposed to a chemical that inhibits the production of spindle fibers as the cell is preparing for mitosis, what would most likely happen?

Only one answer is correct among these 4 choices:
- The cell would continue with mitotic division.
- The cell would undergo meiotic division.
- The cell would break open.
- The cell would not divide.

Could you tell me which one is correct?

The cell would not divide.
