Which phase of mitosis is essentially the reverse of prophase in terms of nuclear changes?

A

B

Anaphase

C

Telophase

D

Interphase

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
During telophase of mitosis viscosity of cytoplasm decreases. A new nuclear membrane is formed (either from older nuclear envelope or ER) around each set of chromosomes. Chromosomes overlap forming chromatin. The Nucleolar organiser region of satelite chromosomes produce nucleolus for each daughter nucleus. Nucleoplasm surrounds in the area of chromatin. The gel state of spindle is converted into sol state and disappears. In this way two daughter nuclei are formed at the poles of spindle. Hence, this phase is just reverse of prophase.
