At the end of the poles, there are these structures called the spindle apparatus. This structure had appeared in Prophase, the beginning of mitosis.
The spindle apparatus contains a centriole and that centriole has spindle fibers that are connected to the chromosomes and help them move.

SPINDLE APPARATUS
spindle fibers
When chromosomes reach the poles of the cell, Anaphase is done. The next stage is the last stage of mitosis. It is called “Telophase.”
You can find the two spindle apparatus at the opposite end of your cell. They appeared back in Prophase.
Telophase
TWO NUCLEI
The spindle fibers help the chromosomes move to the ends.
Let’s recall that a human body has 46 identical chromosomes. When the nuclei reappear, there will be 46 chromosomes in each nuclei.
Let’s remember Telophase as the last step for “t-” meaning the “two” which will make sense in the next square.
I KNOW YOU'RE PROBABLY WONDERING
"to make identical cells-"but where?
If Telophase is the end of mitosis, then where are the new cells?
was i lied to?
A nucleus will form on one end of the cell and another nucleus will form on the other end. Simple, right?
When the chromosomes are at opposite ends, there will be TWO nuclei (plural form of nucleus) forming at each side and they will surround the chromosomes.
There will be 46 chromosomes in each nucleus.
You’re right! Telophase makes the two nuclei appear but it doesn’t make two cells yet. This will happen in Cytokinesis.
