The stage of mitosis during which the mitotic apparatus is disorganizes and the nuclear envelope is re-established is:
Correct answer: E. Telophase
- A. Interphase
- B. Prophase
- C. Metaphase
- D. Anaphase
- E. Telophase
Explanation
Telophase is the final stage of both mitosis and meiosis, two fundamental processes of cell division. During telophase, the cell undergoes several events to prepare for the eventual separation of the two daughter cells. New nuclear envelopes, or membranes, begin to form around the separated sets of chromosomes at each pole of the cell. This reformation reestablishes the boundaries of the cell nucleus, separating it from the cytoplasm. The nucleolus, which is responsible for the production of ribosomal RNA, reappears within the new nuclei as they form.

About Cell Structure and Function
Animal, plant, prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells are compared through their membranes, cell walls, nuclei and cytoplasmic organelles. The work includes the structures and functions of mitochondria, chloroplasts, ribosomes, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus and lysosomes, as well as chromosome organization and the distinction between chromatin and chromosomes.
