Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which of the following does NOT happen during Telophase II?
A
the nuclei reform
B
each cell begins to split evenly in two
C
the chromosomes duplicate
D
the nuclei contain a haploid number of chromosomes
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Which does NOT occur in telophase? The centromeres split apart.

Detailed explanation-2: -In telophase II, nuclear membranes form around each set of chromosomes, and the chromosomes decondense. Cytokinesis splits the chromosome sets into new cells, forming the final products of meiosis: four haploid cells in which each chromosome has just one chromatid.

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: -Finally, during telophase II, the chromosomes are enclosed in nuclear membranes. Cytokinesis follows, dividing the cytoplasm of the two cells. At the conclusion of meiosis, there are four haploid daughter cells that go on to develop into either sperm or egg cells.
