Telophase is the final stage. The chromatids will be pulled to opposite poles and refrom back into chromatin.  The two newly formed nulcei will than be separted by cytokinisis. 
                       final stage      k 

Read the pages indicated by G-6, examine behavioral objective 9 and focus on the steps involved during telophase. 
 

Telophase - This stage is the opposite of prophase. When the chromosomes reach the poles the following events occur: 

1. Nuclear membrane and nucleoli reform. 
2.Chromosomes uncoil and untwist to reform chromatin. 
3. Spindles break down and disappear. 
4. Centrioles remain next to the nucleus. 
 
Write these in your notes.
