V. Telophase
During the last phase of mitosis, known as telophase, nuclear membranes begin to form around the two sets of separated chromosomes and the chromosomes become uncondensed, taking on their usual interphase form.
Figure 8. In the last stage of mitosis, telophase, a new nuclear envelope forms, shown as the dashed green circles, one for each new cell. The chromosomes unfold back into chromatin represented by the orange dots and mass in the two new nuclei. The nucleoli (yellow shading in the center of the two new nuclei) reappear and the cell continues to elongate.
