Which of the following represents a mismatch or incorrect description?
A
Prophase: chromosomes become more tightly coiled
B
Metaphase: chromosomes line up on the equatorial plane
C
Anaphase: there is movement of the chromosomes to the poles
D
Telophase: chromosomes become more extended
E
Metaphase: the nuclear envelope disappears
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the stages of mitosis: Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, and Telophase, each with distinct characteristics.
In Prophase, chromosomes condense and become more visible, and the nuclear envelope begins to disintegrate.
During Metaphase, chromosomes align at the cell's equatorial plane, also known as the metaphase plate. The nuclear envelope has already disappeared by this stage.
In Anaphase, sister chromatids are pulled apart toward opposite poles of the cell by the spindle fibers.
During Telophase, chromosomes begin to de-condense, and the nuclear envelope re-forms around each set of chromosomes, completing the process of mitosis.
