Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which phase of mitosis involves two nuclei reforming around each complete set of genetic material?
A
Prophase
B
Metaphase
C
Anaphase
D
Telophase
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.

Detailed explanation-2: -During the completion of mitosis (telophase), two new nuclei form around the separated sets of daughter chromosomes (see Figure 8.29).

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: -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-5: -Telophase: A membrane forms around each set of chromosomes to create two new nuclei. The single cell then pinches in the middle to form two separate daughter cells each containing a full set of chromosomes within a nucleus. This process is known as cytokinesis.
