Telophase
Captions available
The idea
Telophase is mitosis's final stage, in which chromosomes arrive at opposite poles, begin to decondense, and a new nuclear envelope forms around each resulting set.
In practice
Two nations finalizing separate governments after a split resemble telophase, each new territory complete but not yet functioning.
Where people slip
Telophase completes nuclear division alone — the surrounding cytoplasm has not yet split into two cells at this stage.
