Question

a teacher showed slides of different stages of mitosis to four students and asked them to describe the stage viewed under the microscope.

student	stage of mitosis viewed	description
2	image of mitosis stage	nuclear membrane has started to reappear.
3	image of mitosis stage	chromosomes are moving away from the poles.
4	image of mitosis stage	cytoplasm divides to form two daughter cells.

the student who correctly described the stage was student #

Explanation:

Step1: Identify mitosis stages

Mitosis has pro - phase, meta - phase, ana - phase and telo - phase.

Step2: Analyze student 1

Chromosomes assembling at the equator is metaphase.

Step3: Analyze student 2

Nuclear membrane starting to reappear is telophase.

Step4: Analyze student 3

Chromosomes moving away from the poles is incorrect description, they move towards the poles in anaphase.

Step5: Analyze student 4

Cytoplasm dividing to form two daughter cells is cytokinesis which follows telophase.
