During the final stage of cell division, the mitotic apparatus disappears, the chromosomes become attenuated, the centrioles duplicate and split, the nuclear membrane becomes reconstituted and the nucleolus reappears. This phase of cell division is known as:

a) prophase

b) metaphase

c) anaphase

d) telophase

Telophase

Explanation:

Cell division, particularly mitosis, involves five stages or phases.

1) Interphase

2) Prophase

3) Metaphase

4) Anaphase

5) Telophase

Telophase is the final stage of mitosis or meiosis during which the daughter chromosomes move towards opposite ends of the nuclear spindle.

The telophase stages is divided into early and late forms. During the early Telophase, the cell starts to constricts across the middle. During the late Telophase, the constriction continues.

* The nuclear membrane and nucleolus reform in each daughter cell.

* Spindle apparatus degenerates

* Chromosomes eventually regain their thread-like form and the cell returns to resting condition
