What happens to the chromosomes at the end of Telophase?

Options

  1. AChromosomes cluster at opposite spindle poles
  2. BTheir identity is lost as discrete elements
  3. CBoth a and b
  4. DNone of the above

Correct answer

C. Both a and b

Step-by-step solution

At the beginning of the final stage of karyokinesis, i.e., telophase, the chromosomes that have reached their respective poles decondense and lose their individuality. The individual chromosomes can no longer be seen and each set of chromatin material tends to collect at each of the two poles. .This is the stage which shows the following key events Chromosomes cluster at opposite spindle poles and their identity is lost as discrete elements. Nuclear envelope develops around the chromosome clusters at each pole form
