Question

Which statement describes the chromosomes by the end of telophase of mitosis? The chromosomes have coiled and become more compact. The chromosome pairs collect in a line across the middle of the cell. The chromosomes separate at the centromere and begin to move apart. The chromosomes reach opposite sides of the cell and begin to be incorporated into two new nuclei.Which statement describes the chromosomes by the end of telophase of mitosis?

Answer 1

The answer is The chromosomes reach opposite sides of the cell and begin to be incorporated into two new nuclei. This is the answer because in telophase, the chromosomes that are lined up in the middle of the cell are pulled apart and start to form two nuclei for the daughter cells. To help remember this you can think of the "T" in telophase as Two, because the cell has now formed two nuclei for the daughter cells.

Hope this helps!
