The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the events at the beginning of the final stage of mitosis, we will analyze each option provided in the context of the telophase stage of mitosis. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Mitosis Stages**: Mitosis consists of several stages: prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase. The question specifically asks about the final stage, which is telophase. 2. **Identifying Telophase Events**: During telophase, the following key events occur: - Chromosomes that have been separated during anaphase reach the opposite poles of the cell. - The nuclear envelope begins to reform around each set of chromosomes. - Chromosomes start to decondense back into chromatin. - The nucleolus and other organelles, such as the Golgi apparatus and endoplasmic reticulum, begin to reform. 3. **Analyzing Each Option**: - **Option A**: "The chromosomes that have reached their respective poles can decondense." - This is true. In telophase, chromosomes decondense after reaching the poles. - **Option B**: "Nuclear envelope assembles around the chromosome clusters." - This occurs during telophase but is not the primary event at the very beginning. - **Option C**: "Chromosome clusters at opposite spindle poles and their identity is lost as discrete elements." - This describes metaphase, not telophase. - **Option D**: "Nucleolus, Golgi complex, and endoplasmic reticulum reform." - This occurs after telophase, during cytokinesis. 4. **Conclusion**: The correct answer is **Option A**: "The chromosomes that have reached their respective poles can decondense." This accurately describes an event that occurs at the beginning of telophase. ### Final Answer: **Option A**: The chromosomes that have reached their respective poles can decondense.
