Question 36 • 2026-2027 EDGE Human Anatomy and Physiology A

While examining a cell culture, Juan noticed one cell that showed matching halves of chromosomes near opposite ends of the cell. What will most likely happen next to this cell?

Answer
A
A new nuclear membrane will form.
B
Chromosomes will align in the center.
C
Two spindle fibers will form.
D
Chromosomes will split in half.

Explanation

The matching halves are sister chromatids, which have already separated and moved toward opposite ends of the cell during anaphase. Next, the cell enters telophase, when a new nuclear membrane forms around each set of chromosomes. Chromosomes align in the center earlier, during metaphase.
