Telophase 1

Cards (5)

  • what happens during telophase in certain species?
    in some species, the nuclear envelope reforms around the haploid group of chromosomes and the chromosomes decondense and are no longer visible
  • what happens during telophase 1 in most species?
    the chromosomes stay in their condense form
  • what would happen if a nuclear envelope has reformed at telophase 1 for most species?
    it would disintegrate again
  • why does the nuclear envelope reform in female mammals?
    as in female mammals, theres a long time between meiosis 1 and meiosis 2
  • why doesn't the nuclear envelope reform in male mammals and many other organisms?
    as meiosis 1 is followed by meiosis 2 so rapidly that the nuclear envelope doesn't reform - theres no telophase 1 or interphase
