Help will medal, question in attachment!
i think its a
@Awolflover1 @Luigi0210 @mathmale @neonumbrella5115 @RhondaSommer
wait i think b instead
A is anaphase (when the homolygous chromosomes are pulled apart) and B is cytokinesis (when the actual cell divison occurs).
Telophase occurs before cytokinesis and before anaphase. What do you think it is now?
*after anaphase
My apologies :) lol
d?
@ggw513
wait i stilll thnik b
You were right when you said D :) telophase is the phase where the nucleus reforms around the chromosomes, which is what is illustrated in D.
If you're having a hard time visualizing the process, look up "crash course mitosis" on YouTube. It definitely helped me and should be able to help you too.
i watched it, but in the video it never showed a pic of it, all it said that stage was the last stage but the question could of not put the stages in order so d could not be correct
Yes, telophase is the last phase if you don't count cytokinesis (which technically isn't a phase, but is still an event that occurs).
ya but how does that have to help solve the question
Well, what has to happen after the chromosomes are pulled apart and before the cell splits? Telophase.
b is correct i keep lookng up telophase and i keep getting a picture simular to b
"Telophase: Following anaphase is telophase, the fourth and final phase of mitosis. During telophase, the chromosomes, which were distinct and condensed, begin to spread out into a tangle of chromatin (probably what you saw in the pictures, which is visible in cytokinesis- the event after telophase). A nuclear envelope re-forms around each cluster of chromosomes. The spindle begins to break apart, and a nucleolus becomes visible in each daughter nucleus. Mitosis is complete. However, the process of cell divison has one more step to go (cytokinesis)."
A quote from the text book.
I can assure you, it's D.
I could understand the confusion, though. Telophase and cytokinesis are often lumped together because the cell cleavage starts to form very quickly after the nucleus starts to reform. However, this does not make them the same event.
Okay, I think I understand why you said it's B now. D could be interpreted as interphase (because there is only one nucleus). Telophase is when the nucleus starts to reform, so it would look like D, but because B has two nucleuses it would be understandable that B would be telophase. The only thing is that if B was accurately representing telophase (without cytokinesis), there wouldn't be cleavage.
