Telophase I varies from species to species. Sometimes Telophase I is skipped and meiosis starts its second division immediately. In general, however, two nuclear envelopes begin to surround the separate chromosomes and cytokinesis (splitting of the cytoplasm into two separate entities) will sometimes occur. Then a phase called interkinesis will follow, which essentially is a resting period from Telophase I to Prophase II. This differs from mitosis because DNA replication does not occur. |
