Telophase is the final phase of mitosis. The chromosomoes group together at opposite ends of the cell. They begin to untangle and become a blob of chromatin. This occurs where the nuclei of the daughter cells will form. The nuclear envelope reforms around the blobs of chromtin. The spindle disintegrates and nucleoluses become visible in the daughter cells.
Images of telophase:
Chromosomes are stained black and becoming less distinct. A cleavage furrow is forming.
This cell is in telophase. The chromosomes are stained blue, and becoming an unclear blob. The spindle fiber, stained green, is still visible. A minute division is visible where the daughter cells will seperate from each other.
Once telophase is complete, mitosis is complete as well. The process of cell division, however, is not. Cytokinesis
must be completed in order for cell division to be completed.
