Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The final stage of mitosis during which chromosomes become less visible:
A
prophase
B
metaphase
C
telophase
D
anaphase
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Mitosis ends with telophase, or the stage at which the chromosomes reach the poles. The nuclear membrane then reforms, and the chromosomes begin to decondense into their interphase conformations.

Detailed explanation-2: -Chromosomes become visible during prophase.

Detailed explanation-3: -Telophase is the fifth and final phase of mitosis, the process that separates the duplicated genetic material carried in the nucleus of a parent cell into two identical daughter cells. Telophase begins once the replicated, paired chromosomes have been separated and pulled to opposite sides, or poles, of the cell.

Detailed explanation-4: -The nucleolus and the nuclear membrane reappear and the nucleus revert to the interphasic condition with the chromatin appearing as delicate threads. The nuclear membrane reforms from fragments of the parent cell’s nuclear envelope as well as other portions of the inracellular membranes.

Detailed explanation-5: -Answer and Explanation: During prophase, chromosomes are least condensed as it is the phase during which chromosomal condensation occurs.
