Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Two nuclei are ____ during telophase
A
Synthesized
B
Broken down
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Thus, during telophase two identical nuclei are created. These cells will function in the same way, and can be used to build entire organisms from a single zygote, or replace cells which have been damaged. Meiosis, on the other hand, produces cells that differ in the genetics they carry.

Detailed explanation-2: -During telophase, the newly separated chromosomes reach the mitotic spindle and a nuclear membrane forms around each set of chromosomes, thus creating two separate nuclei inside the same cell.

Detailed explanation-3: -During telophase, a nuclear membrane forms around each set of chromosomes to separate the nuclear DNA from the cytoplasm. The chromosomes begin to uncoil, which makes them diffuse and less compact.

Detailed explanation-4: -During the mitotic phase, a cell will undergo mitosis to form two new nuclei and then divide to form two new individual cells during cytokinesis. Mitosis is the process of dividing the duplicated DNA of a cell into two new nuclei.

Detailed explanation-5: -Telophase II and cytokinesis: A membrane forms around each set of chromosomes to create two new cell nuclei. This is the last phase of meiosis, however cell division is not complete without another round of cytokinesis.
