Telophase-1 is the last stage of meiosis-1. Chromosomes are fixed at opposite poles. Chromosome water addition or water absorption (hydration) begins. Chromosomes decrease in capacity to hold dyes. Chromosomes uncoil and become long, narrow and fuzzy. The nuclear membrane and nucleolus appear. As a result, two nuclei are formed at both ends. Cytokinesis occurs at the telophase-1 stage in many species. That is, in the equatorial region of the cell, the cell plate is formed and turns into two daughter cells. A child cell has h number of chromosomes. Telophase-1 does not occur in many species. Siddique Publications
