Question

The cell shown below represents a phase of mitosis. Which statement best describes the stage of the cell cycle that will follow this phase?

A. Anaphase-the replicated chromosomes have separated and are moving toward the centrioles.
B. Anaphase the replicated chromosomes are aligning at the equator opposite the centrioles.
C. Telophase the chromosomes will uncoil and the nuclear envelope will re-form.
D. telophase the sister chromatids will separate and become individual chromosomes.

Answer 1

The next stage of mitosis following anaphase is telophase, where chromosomes decondense, and nuclear envelopes and nucleoli reappear, preparing for cytokinesis and the formation of two daughter cells.

Step-by-step explanation:

The statement that best describes the stage of the cell cycle that will follow the phase of mitosis depicted in the question is C: Telophase - the chromosomes will uncoil and the nuclear envelope will re-form. After anaphase, during which sister chromatids are pulled apart to opposite poles of the cell, telophase is the next phase where the chromosomes arrive at the poles and begin to decondense into chromatin. Nuclear envelopes re-form around each set of chromosomes, and nucleoli reappear. This sets the stage for cytokinesis, where the cell cytoplasm divides and two daughter cells are formed.

The phase of mitosis shown in the cell is Anaphase, where the sister chromatids separate and move towards opposite poles of the cell.

The statement that best describes the stage of the cell cycle that will follow Anaphase is C. Telophase - the chromosomes will uncoil and the nuclear envelope will re-form.

In Telophase, the chromosomes reach the opposite poles, decondense (unravel), and the nuclear envelope forms around them.
