D) formation of telophase nuclei 
E) synthesis of chromatids

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The nuclear material in Figure 9.2 is already condensed and lined up at the metaphase plate, indicating that the cell is in metaphase. The next step in mitosis would be the separation of the sister chromatids and the formation of two nuclei during telophase. Therefore, the correct answer is D) formation of telophase nuclei.
