Question

______ is the opposite of prophase and prometaphase.
a anaphase
b telophase
c metaphase

Explanation:

In cell division (mitosis), prophase and prometaphase involve the condensation of chromosomes and breakdown of the nuclear envelope. Telophase is the reverse: chromosomes decondense, the nuclear envelope reforms, and the cell prepares to divide, making it the opposite of prophase/prometaphase. Anaphase involves chromosome separation, and metaphase aligns chromosomes, neither being the opposite of prophase/prometaphase.

Answer:

b. Telophase
