Question

if the cell whose nuclear material is shown in the figure above continues toward completion of mitosis, which of the following events would occur next?
formation of telophase nuclei
synthesis of sister chromatids
cell membrane synthesis
segregation of daughter chromosomes toward the poles
alignment of chromosomes at the metaphase plate

Explanation:

The figure shows chromosomes lined up at the metaphase plate, which is characteristic of metaphase. The next stage in mitosis after metaphase is anaphase, where sister chromatids (daughter chromosomes) are segregated and pulled toward the poles. Formation of telophase nuclei occurs in telophase (after anaphase). Synthesis of sister chromatids happens in the S - phase (not during mitosis). Cell membrane synthesis is part of cytokinesis (which can overlap with telophase but comes after anaphase). Alignment of chromosomes at the metaphase plate is already occurring in the shown stage.

Answer:

segregation of daughter chromosomes toward the poles
