Question 5 • IL-Science 7 A

Which statement best describes the relationship between prophase and telophase?

Answer
A
The spindle fibers bring the chromosomes together in prophase then apart in telophase.
B
The spindle fibers pull the chromosomes apart in prophase then bring them together in telophase.
C
The nuclear membrane forms in prophase and breaks down in telophase.
D
The nuclear membrane forms in telophase and breaks down in prophase.

Explanation

During prophase, the nuclear membrane breaks down so spindle fibers can reach the chromosomes. During telophase, new nuclear membranes form around each set of chromosomes. Therefore, the statement that the membrane forms in telophase and breaks down in prophase is correct.
