Telophase

This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.

State

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.

Show

Two nations finalizing separate governments after a split resemble telophase, each new territory complete but not yet functioning.

Watch for

Telophase completes nuclear division alone — the surrounding cytoplasm has not yet split into two cells at this stage.
