A stage in cell division is shown in the figure. Select the answer which gives the correct identification of the stage with its characteristics:
Late Anaphase – Chromosomes move away from equatorial plate, Golgi complex not present.
Cytokinesis – Cell plate formed, mitochondria distributed between two daughter cells.
Telophase – Endoplasmic reticulum and nucleolus reform, nuclear envelope reforms.
Telophase – Nuclear envelope reforms, Golgi complex reforms.
Telophase is the final stage of nuclear division (karyokinesis) where chromosomes reach their respective poles and begin to decondense . This stage is specifically characterised by the reformation of the nuclear envelope around the chromosome clusters at each pole, resulting in the formation of two daughter nuclei . Furthermore, the nucleolus, Golgi complex, and Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER) reform during this stage . While cytokinesis involves the subsequent division of the cytoplasm, the structural restoration of organelles is a hallmark of Telophase . Mastering these distinct cellular events is a high-priority strategy, as NCERT textbooks serve as the primary source for approximately 95% of NEET Biology questions .
