Begins during anaphase, continues through and after telophase.
Metaphase
Anaphase
Telophase
Cytokinesis
Solution
The answer is the fourth one (D): Cytokinesis.
Explanation for each option:
Metaphase: This is the stage of mitosis where chromosomes align in the middle of the cell. It does not involve the process described in the question.
Anaphase: This is the stage where sister chromatids are pulled apart to opposite poles of the cell. While it marks the beginning of the process described, it does not continue through and after telophase.
Telophase: This is the stage where the chromosomes arrive at the poles, and the nuclear envelope re-forms around each set of chromosomes. It is part of the process but does not encompass the entire duration described.
Cytokinesis: This is the process that begins during anaphase, continues through telophase, and completes after telophase. It involves the division of the cytoplasm, resulting in two separate daughter cells.
Summary:
The process that begins during anaphase, continues through telophase, and completes after telophase is cytokinesis.
