Question
Sketch, label and describe telophase in mitosis.

Answer

Telophase:
a. This is the final stage of karyokinesis.
b. The chromosomes with their centromeres begin to uncoil at the poles.
c. The chromosomes lengthen and lose their individuality.
d. The nucleolus reappears and the nuclear membrane appear around the chromosomes.
e. Spindle fibres breakdown and get absorbed in the cytoplasm. Thus, two daughter nuclei are formed.
These are small disc-shaped structures at the surface of the centromeres which serve as the sites of attachment of spindle fibres to the chromosomes.
