Telophase
The chromatids (now also considered chromosomes)
arrive at the opposite ends of the cell, and new
nuclear membranes form.
Mitosis, which describes only the division of the
nucleus, is now complete.

Telophase I
As in mitosis, the chromosomes arrive at opposite
ends of the cell, and new nuclear membranes form.
The dividing cell shown here is a male's sperm cell.
With meiosis in a female, most of the cell's
cytoplasm will be concentrated in one of the two
emerging cells, which will result in one large cell
and one small cell. The large cell will go on to
divide again (as shown on the following screens);
the small cell will degenerate.
