A cell at telophase stage is observed by a student in a plant brought from the field. He tells his teacher that this cell is not like other cells at telophase stage. There is no formation of cell plate and thus the cell is containing more number of chromosomes as compared to other dividing cells. This would result in

Select the incorrect match regarding mitotic cell division.
(i) Prophase - Chromosomes to begin to uncoil
(ii) Metaphase - Chromatids move apart
(iii) Telophase - The nuclear membrane reappears
(iv) Late anaphase- Each chromosome consists of two anaphase chromatids
(v) Interphase - Chromosomes are not distinct
