D
Telophase
Verified step by step guidance1
Recall the sequence of the main phases of mitosis, which are prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase.
Understand that mitosis is the process of cell division where replicated chromosomes are separated into two new nuclei.
Identify the order of phases: prophase is the first phase where chromosomes condense and the spindle apparatus begins to form.
Recognize that metaphase is the second phase where chromosomes align at the metaphase plate (the cell's equator).
Confirm that anaphase follows metaphase, where sister chromatids separate, and telophase is the final phase where nuclei reform.
