What Is Meiosis?
5. Cytokinesis and Telophase I
Next up in the process is cytokinesis and telophase I. Now, it becomes visible under a microscope that the cell is beginning to “pinch” together in the middle. This is in preparation for the cell to eventually separate into two separate cells completely.
By now, each of the chromosomes has made their move toward each of the centrosomes. The full set of chromosomes are now gathered at each pole of the cells close to the centrioles. A membrane will now form around each set of chromosomes. This latter process, known technically as cytokinesis, helps to create two separate nuclei.
