Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which phase does this describe:Two identical sets of chromosomes reach the poles, the spindle breaks down, and the nucleus and nucleolus reappear.
A
prophase
B
metaphase
C
anaphase
D
telophase
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -During anaphase, sister chromatids are separated at the centromere and are pulled towards opposite poles of the cell by the mitotic spindle. During telophase, chromosomes arrive at opposite poles and unwind (uncoil) into thin strands of DNA, the spindle fibers disappear, and the nuclear membrane reappears.

Detailed explanation-2: -During prophase, the chromosomes condense, the nucleolus disappears, and the nuclear envelope breaks down.

Detailed explanation-3: -During telophase, the chromosomes arrive at the cell poles, the mitotic spindle disassembles, and the vesicles that contain fragments of the original nuclear membrane assemble around the two sets of chromosomes.

Detailed explanation-4: -In the context of the cell cycle, mitosis is the part of the division process in which the DNA of the cell’s nucleus is split into two equal sets of chromosomes.

Detailed explanation-5: -Telophase. The final stage of mitosis, and a reversal of many of the processes observed during prophase. The nuclear membrane reforms around the chromosomes grouped at either pole of the cell, the chromosomes uncoil and become diffuse, and the spindle fibres disappear.
