By the time the cell is in telophase, the chromosomes have already replicated, condensed, lined up, and migrated to their poles. During telophase the chromosomes are separating as far apart as possible preparing the cell for cytokinesis (division of cytoplasm).
The chromosomes unwind during telophase and cytokinesis.
The last phase of mitosis is called telophase. During telophase, the separated chromosomes reach opposite poles of the cell, the nuclear envelope reforms around each set of chromosomes, and the chromosomes begin to decondense.
The nuclear membrane reforms around the nucleus during Telophase, the last phase of mitosis.
The uncoiling and decondensing of the chromosomes occurs during telophase of mitosis. In this phase, the nuclear envelope reforms around the separated chromosomes, and the chromatin (uncoiled chromosomes) begins to relax back into its less condensed state.
Chromosomes decoil to form chromatin during interphase of the cell cycle. This is when the cell is not actively dividing and the DNA is in a more relaxed state, allowing for gene expression and other cellular processes to occur.
During the telophase phase, the chromosomes begin to uncoil. There are six phases with mitosis and telophase is number four.
During telophase, the process of chromatin condensation occurs, which allows chromosomes to uncoil and facilitate gene expression.
During telophase, nonkinetochore microtubules depolymerize and disappear as the cell prepares to complete the process of cell division. These microtubules are no longer needed once the chromosomes have reached opposite poles of the cell.
The phase of mitosis when the chromosomes stop moving is called metaphase. During metaphase, the chromosomes align at the center of the cell along the metaphase plate before moving to separate poles during anaphase.
During telophase, the chromosomes reach the opposite poles of the cell, and the nuclear membrane reforms around each set of chromosomes. The chromosomes begin to decondense back into chromatin, and the spindle fibers disassemble. Telophase is the final stage of mitosis before cytokinesis occurs, resulting in two identical daughter cells.
At the end of telophase, there are two sets of replicated chromosomes present in each cell. This is because during telophase, the duplicated chromosomes have separated and two identical sets of chromosomes are formed in preparation for cytokinesis.
A total of four daughter cells form
