Overview
Telophase is a critical stage in the process of mitosis, where the chromosomes that have been separated during earlier phases begin to de-condense, and the nuclear envelope reforms around each set of chromosomes. This stage is essential for ensuring that each daughter cell receives an identical set ...
Key Terms
Example: Mitosis is essential for growth and repair in multicellular organisms.
Example: Humans have 46 chromosomes in each somatic cell.
Example: The nuclear envelope disintegrates during prophase.
Example: Cytokinesis occurs after telophase in animal cells.
Example: De-condensation occurs during telophase.
Example: The cell cycle includes interphase and mitotic phases.
