Telophase is the final stage of nuclear division before the cell fully separates into two daughter cells.

Select ALL events that occur during telophase.

Chromosomes arrive at the poles

The spindle breaks down

Chromosomes line up at the cell equator

Nuclear envelopes reform around each set of chromosomes

Centrioles replicate in preparation for the next division

(1) Chromosomes arrive at the poles

(2) Nuclear envelopes reform around each set of chromosomes

(3) The spindle breaks down

(4) Centrioles replicate in preparation for the next division

During telophase:

Chromosomes arrive at the poles and begin to uncoil
Nuclear envelopes reform around each set of chromosomes
The spindle breaks down
Centrioles replicate (in animal cells) so each daughter cell will have its own pair

Chromosomes lining up at the equator is a characteristic of metaphase, not telophase.
