Multiple Choice
In mitosis, which phase is the final stage of the process (before cytokinesis) when chromosomes reach the poles and nuclear envelopes reform?
A
Anaphase
B
Prophase
C
Telophase
D
Metaphase
Verified step by step guidance1
Recall the sequence of phases in mitosis: Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, and Telophase.
Understand that during Anaphase, sister chromatids separate and move toward opposite poles of the cell.
Recognize that Telophase is the phase following Anaphase, where chromosomes have reached the poles.
Note that in Telophase, the nuclear envelopes begin to reform around each set of chromosomes, preparing the cell for division.
Conclude that Telophase is the final stage of mitosis before cytokinesis, which physically divides the cytoplasm into two daughter cells.
