A part of both
meiosis and
mitosis. During telophase of mitosis and of the the second meiotic division, sister
chromatids that have separated during
anaphase arrive at opposite poles of the dividing
cell. During telophase of the first meiotic division, one member of each pair of
homologous chromosomes arrives at each pole of the dividing cell; each such
homologue is a pair of sister
chromatids that will go on to separate in the second meiotic division.
Preious step: Anaphase
Next step: Cytokinesis
