Telophase Two

Chromosomes gather: Chromosomes move to opposite poles of the cell, where they gather into two sets

Cell polarity is the uneven distribution of a cell's structure, shape, and function along an axis

The cell axis determines the future positions

Polarity works by cells receiving information about their surroundings through biochemical and mechanical cues

Tight junctions and transcytosis maintain the polarity

Nuclear membranes form: A membrane forms around each set of chromosomes, creating two new nuclei

Chromosomes decondense: Chromosomes return to their "stringy" form

Cell division: The cell pinches in the middle and divides again, creating four daughter cells

Daughter cells are haploid: Each daughter cell has half the number of chromosomes as the original cell. 

Daughter cells have new gene mixtures: Each daughter cell has a new combination of genes due to recombination during meiosis
