Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Replicated chromosomes finish moving towards the poles in this phase:
A
Prometaphase I
B
Metaphase I
C
Anaphase I
D
Telophase I
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. Telophase is followed by cytokinesis, or the division of the cytoplasm into two daughter cells.

Detailed explanation-2: -During telophase I, the chromosomes are enclosed in nuclei. The cell now undergoes a process called cytokinesis that divides the cytoplasm of the original cell into two daughter cells. Each daughter cell is haploid and has only one set of chromosomes, or half the total number of chromosomes of the original cell.

Detailed explanation-3: -Answer and Explanation: After telophase 1 of meiosis 1 the cell will immediately enter into prophase 2 of meiosis 2.

Detailed explanation-4: -Telophase I is that phase when the chromosomes have finished moving to opposite ends of the cell. This will then be followed by cytokinesis producing two daughter cells. After cytokinesis, the two daughter cells would have genetically different chromosomes after meiosis I.
