Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What is one event that may occur during Telophase I?
A
Tetrads may line up down the middle of the cell
B
Chromatin may condense to form visible chromosomes
C
The nucleus of each cell may reappear as two independent cells are being formed
D
none of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -During telophase, the chromosomes begin to decondense, the spindle breaks down, and the nuclear membranes and nucleoli re-form. The cytoplasm of the mother cell divides to form two daughter cells, each containing the same number and kind of chromosomes as the mother cell.

Detailed explanation-2: -The last stage of Meiosis I is telophase I. In telophase I, the microtubules break down, the nuclear membrane reforms, and the chromosomes return to an uncondensed state. The cell then divides into two haploid daughter cells by cytokinesis.

Detailed explanation-3: -During telophase I, the homologous chromosomes get segregated into separate nuclei. Although another division must take place for meiosis to be complete, the cells must still reform the nuclear envelopes, disassemble the spindle fiber microtubules, and go through cytokinesis.
