What is a key result of telophase in cell division?

During telophase, which is the final stage of mitosis, one of the key events is the formation of daughter nuclei. As the cell completes the division process, the chromatin begins to condense back into the less tightly packed form, and nuclear envelopes form around each set of separated sister chromatids. This marks the end of nuclear division, leading to the creation of two distinct nuclei, one for each daughter cell.

While other processes like the separation of chromatids occur earlier in cell division (during anaphase), telophase specifically addresses the re-establishment of the nuclear membrane and the encapsulation of genetic material, completing the process of mitosis before cytokinesis takes place. Synthesis of mRNA and replication of DNA are not processes that are directly related to telophase; they occur at different stages within the cell cycle.
