Which phase of mitosis occurs fifth?
A
Prophase
B
Prometaphase
C
Metaphase
D
Anaphase
E
Telophase
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Telophase is the fifth step in mitosis. In telophase, chromosomes arrive at opposite poles and begin to decondenese. nuclear envelope material surrounds each set of chromosomes.

Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -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. Telophase is followed by cytokinesis, or the division of the cytoplasm into two daughter cells.

Detailed explanation-4: -Anaphase-The third stage in which the chromatids move to opposite poles by splitting centromere. Telophase-The fourth stage in which the nuclear envelope assembles around the chromosome clusters.

Detailed explanation-5: -Telophase: Since cells are really a tidy lot, the new daughter cells start re-forming their internal structures even while they’re still connected along the membrane. The mitotic spindle is the first structure to be broken down, its building blocks recycled into the new cells’ support skeletons.
