Describe the events that occur during telophase I. Which events are similar to those of telophase during mitosis; which events are different from mitotic telophase? What is the end result of meiosis I?
In telophase I, cytokinesis is nearly complete and the new nuclei that have formed in the two daughter cells each have half the original total number of chromosomes; the chromosomes, still double-stranded, fade from view.
