Study Notes

Telophase II

  • Nuclear membranes re-form around four distinct clusters of chromosomes, each containing a unique set of genetic material.
  • This stage is followed by cytokinesis, resulting in the formation of four haploid cells.
  • The randomness of homologous pairs' alignment at metaphase I and crossing over during prophase I ensures that no two cells are alike.
