Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What is the last phase of mitosis, when the nuclear membrane forms around two identical sets of chromosomes?
A
Prophase
B
Metaphase
C
Anaphase
D
Telophase
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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.

Detailed explanation-2: -Telophase is the last phase of mitosis before cytokinesis, and is where sister chromatids separate, and the new nuclei are formed. The end product of telophase in mitosis is two genetically identical daughter cells.

Detailed explanation-3: -In anaphase, the shortest stage of mitosis, the sister chromatids break apart, and the chromosomes begin moving to opposite ends of the cell. By the end of anaphase, the 2 halves of the cell have an equivalent collection of chromosomes. In telophase, 2 daughter nuclei form.

Detailed explanation-4: -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-5: -During the completion of mitosis (telophase), two new nuclei form around the separated sets of daughter chromosomes (see Figure 8.29).
