The cell is preparing to separate the chromosomes. During anaphase the cell chromosomes are separated. During telophase, separation of chromosomes is complete. The cell begins to break apart into two cells. The chromosomes begin to uncoil.
Nuclear membranes begin to reform around the chromosomes.
Daughter Cells . Two cells now exist as a result of mitosis. Each cell has about one half the biomass of the original cells. Soon each cell will aquire nutrients and will grow in size so as to aquire the size that is normal for the cell type. Root tips are excellent tissue sections to study to learn mitosis, since root tips are rapidly growing and thus have many cells in stages of replication.
