During telophase and cytokinesis, the following occurs:
-
Telophase: This stage begins after the chromosomes have separated and start to decondense back into chromatin. The nuclear envelope reforms around each set of separated chromosomes, resulting in the formation of two distinct nuclei within the cell.
-
Cytokinesis: This is the process that follows telophase. It involves the division of the cytoplasm and the organelles, ultimately leading to the formation of two separate cells. In animal cells, this is typically achieved through a cleavage furrow that pinches the cell in two.
Therefore, after telophase and cytokinesis, you end up with two cells, each with its own nucleus. So, the correct statement from your options would be:
- You end up with two nuclei in two new cells.
