Insects in general have a higher LD50 for ionizing radiation than do mammals. But nothing is unique about cockroaches. Other effects like the blast and heat will kill them as easily as anything else.

Do butterfly can survive during nuclear explotion?

Since many explosions have already happened and flutterbyes are still here then - yes. Since the temperature at the site of such an explosion can be two million degrees Centigrade then - no. Since all explosions in the last fifty years have been deep underground and flutterbyes live in the sky then - yes. The answer is therefore YES by a margin of two to one.

Can a cat survive a cockroach bomb?

Cockroaches have been proved to survive a nuclear bomb. The above answer is inaccurate. This is the correct answer from Wikipedia: Cockroaches do indeed have a much higher radiation resistance than vertebrates, with the lethal dose perhaps 6 to 15 times that for humans. However, they are not exceptionally radiation-resistant compared to other insects, such as the fruit fly.[21] The cockroach's ability to withstand radiation better than human beings can be explained through the cell cycle. Cells are most vulnerable to the effects of radiation when they are dividing. A cockroach's cells divide only once each time it molts, which is weekly at most in a juvenile roach. Since not all cockroaches would be molting at the same time, many would be unaffected by an acute burst of radiation, but lingering radioactive fallout would still be harmful http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cockroach#Hardiness


Does the nuclear envelope re-forms during anaphase?

No, the nuclear envelope does not reform during anaphase. Instead, the nuclear envelope breaks down during prophase and prometaphase to allow the chromosomes to be free in the cytoplasm for segregation and reforms during telophase.


Could humans survive nuclear war?

It depends on how large of a nuclear war. If India should have a nuclear war with China or Pakistan, the human race would probably survive it. However, if the US had exchanged nukes with the USSR during the Cold War, there might have been no safe place in the world from the radioactive fallout.
