Final answer:
In the next stage of mitosis after anaphase, telophase, the chromatids reach the opposite poles, the nuclear membrane will reappear, and the chromosomes will decondense.
Step-by-step explanation:
If a model is showing one stage of mitosis, to draw conclusions about the next stage, we need to understand the sequence of events. If the stage given is anaphase, the next stage would be telophase. During telophase, several distinct processes occur. Firstly, the chromatids that previously separated during anaphase reach the opposite poles of the cell, becoming individual chromosomes. The next step is the reformation of the nuclear membranes around each set of chromosomes. Finally, the spindle fibers begin to break down, and the chromosomes start to decondense from their tightly coiled state back into less condensed chromatin.
So, in the context of a mitosis model and predicting the next stage after anaphase, the correct answers would be:
- Chromatids will move to opposite poles (which occurs during anaphase but is part of the process leading to telophase).
- Nuclear membrane will reappear as new nuclear envelopes form around the separated chromosomes.
- Chromosomes will decondense as the cell prepares to enter the final phase of cell division.
