Prophase is when chromosomes group together and prepare for division, while in telophase two new nuclei are formed. telophase is the first step of mitosis; telophase is the fourth step (last).

During prophase, the cell is transitioning from growth to division. In telophase, the cell is transitioning from division to growth. When you look at the specifics, they also represent these as reverse processes:

Prophase: chromatin uncoils

Telophase: chromatin condenses

Prophase: nuclear envelope degrades

Telophase: nuclear envelope reforms

Prophase: mitotic spindle forms

Telophase: mitotic spindle disappears

What is the proper sequence of mitosis?

Prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase. Sometimes, the list can include prometaphase (between prophase and metaphase) and cytokinesis (which occurs after telophase and results in the production of two cells with separated cytoplasmic compartments).
