Detailed explanation-1: -Telophase is the fifth and final phase of mitosis, the process that separates the duplicated genetic material carried in the nucleus of a parent cell into two identical daughter cells. Telophase begins once the replicated, paired chromosomes have been separated and pulled to opposite sides, or poles, of the cell.

Detailed explanation-2: -During the completion of mitosis (telophase), two new nuclei form around the separated sets of daughter chromosomes (see Figure 8.29).

Detailed explanation-3: -At the end of interphase comes the mitotic phase, which is made up of mitosis and cytokinesis and leads to the formation of two daughter cells.

Detailed explanation-4: -In the telophase stage (seeFigure 3-14G andH), the two sets of daughter chromosomes are pushed completely apart. Then, the mitotic apparatus dissipates, and a new nuclear membrane develops around each set of chromosomes.
