The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the key events shown by telophase, we will analyze each statement one by one based on our understanding of the telophase stage in mitosis. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Telophase**: - Telophase is the final stage of mitosis, where the separated chromosomes reach opposite poles of the cell. 2. **Analyzing Statement I**: - **Statement I**: "Chromosomes cluster at opposite spindle poles and their identity is lost as discrete elements." - In telophase, chromosomes do indeed cluster at opposite spindle poles. However, they do not lose their identity; instead, they begin to de-condense. Thus, this statement is partially correct but misleading. The key point is that they cluster at the poles. 3. **Analyzing Statement II**: - **Statement II**: "Nuclear envelope assembles around the chromosome clusters." - This statement is correct. During telophase, the nuclear envelope reforms around each set of chromosomes, creating two distinct nuclei in the daughter cells. 4. **Analyzing Statement III**: - **Statement III**: "Nucleolus, Golgi complex, and ER reform." - This statement is also correct. During telophase, the nucleolus reappears, and the Golgi apparatus and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) begin to reform as the cell prepares for cytokinesis. 5. **Conclusion**: - Based on the analysis, Statements II and III are correct. Statement I is misleading as it suggests that chromosomes lose their identity, which is not entirely accurate. Therefore, the key events shown by telophase are: - II: Nuclear envelope assembles around the chromosome clusters. - III: Nucleolus, Golgi complex, and ER reform. ### Final Answer: The correct answer is that the key events shown by telophase are **II and III**.
