Telophase

TELOPHASE

Telophase

  • Telophase is technically the final stage of mitosis.
  • Its name derives from the Latin word telos which means 'end'.
  • The daughter chromosomes arrive at the poles and nuclei (plural form of nucleus) begin to form at opposite poles.
  • The nuclear envelopes of these nuclei are re- formed.
  • Nucleoli (plural form of nucleolus) also reappear.
  • Chromatin fibers of chromosomes uncoil.
  • The spindle fibers that have pulled them apart disappear.
  • The chromosomes begin to decondense and become more diffuse.
