telofáze

Telofáze is the final stage of mitosis and meiosis, the processes of cell division. During telofáze, the chromosomes that have been separated and moved to opposite poles of the cell begin to decondense and uncoil. Nuclear envelopes reform around each set of chromosomes, creating two new nuclei within the cell. This process essentially reverses the events of prophase, the initial stage of cell division. The cytoplasm of the cell then divides, a process called cytokinesis, which results in the formation of two daughter cells. In meiosis, telofáze is followed by a second round of division if it is meiosis II, leading to the formation of four haploid cells. If it is telofáze I of meiosis, the resulting two cells are haploid but the chromosomes still consist of two sister chromatids. The completion of telofáze marks the end of nuclear division and prepares the cell for its eventual separation into two distinct cells, each with a complete set of genetic material.
