Question

Which of the following agrees with telophase 1?

(a) The chromosomes de-condensed

(b) The sister chromatids of the bivalent is visible

(c) The nuclear membrane breaks down

(d) It is of very long duration

I got this question during an online interview.

I need to ask this question from Meiosis 1 Metaphase, Anaphase & Telophase in portion Chromosomal Changes During Meiosis of Cytogenetics

Answer 1

Right answer is (b) The sister chromatids of the bivalent is visible

Best explanation: Telophase 1 is like a resting stop before meiosis 2, it is of rather short duration. The chromosomes remain compacted and the nuclear membrane is reformed. It is true that the chromosomes unlike mitosis are bivalent.
