Question

    In the eukaryotic cell cycle, which phase is known as the 'distance phase' where chromosomes decondense and the nuclear membrane reforms?

    A Anaphase Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Prometaphase Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Prophase Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Telophase Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Telophase is the phase of the cell cycle where chromosomes reach the opposite poles of the cell and start to decondense back into chromatin. This phase also sees the reformation of the nuclear membrane and the disappearance of spindle fibers, marking the preparatory stage for the division of cytoplasm (cytokinesis).
