Which one of the following never occurs during mitotic cell division?
- ASpindle fibres attach to kinetochores of chromosomes
- BMovement of centrioles towards opposite poles
- CPairing of homologous chromosomes
- DCoiling and condensation of the chromatids

Pairing of homologous chromosomes occurs during prophase I of meiosis.
Coiling and condensation of chromatids, spindle fibres attachment to the kinetochores and movement of centrioles towards opposite poles occur in both mitosis and meiosis.
