Question

Looking through a light microscope at a dividing cell, you see two separate groups of chromosomes on opposite ends of the cell. New nuclear envelopes are taking shape around each group. The chromosomes then begin to disappear as they unwind. You are witnessing _____.

a) prophase
b) anaphase
c) metaphase
d) telophase

Answer 1

Option D, telophase

Step-by-step explanation:

Telophase is the last stage of mitosis cell division in which the duplicated genetic material gets arranged into two identical daughter cells. In generals, this phase begins once the replicated, paired chromosomes have separated and arranged themselves on two opposite sides, or poles of the cells. After this, nuclear envelope begins to form around the chromosomes. After telophase, the cell undergoes cytokinesis to divide the cytoplasm of the parental cell into two daughter cells.

Hence, option D is correct
