Question

A animal cell has just completed telophase, which of the following would you expect to see?

a)An empty cell.
b)Individual chromatids separating.
c)Formation of vesicles at the metaphase plate.
d)The formation of two genetically identical cells.

Answer 1

After telophase, you would expect to see the formation of two genetically identical cells as nuclear membranes form and the cell divides through cytokinesis.

Step-by-step explanation:

After a cell has completed telophase, you would expect to see the formation of two genetically identical cells. Telophase is the final stage of mitosis where the cell's duplicated DNA has been separated and new nuclear membranes start to form around the chromosomes at each pole of the cell. The genomes are encased in two new nuclei, and cytokinesis begins, which is the physical process that will split the cytoplasm and the cell in two. In animal cells, this occurs through a cleavage furrow that pinches the cell in half.

During this phase, the chromosomes also begin to decondense, returning to a less tightly coiled chromatin state, making the DNA accessible for the transcription necessary for the start of the subsequent interphase. Nucleoli become visible within the daughter nuclei, indicating the end of mitosis and the beginning of the interphase in the two newly formed identical daughter cells.
