Cell Reproduction Cytokinesis: Division of the Cytoplasm

The video tutorial explains the process of cell division, focusing on cytokinesis. It begins with the formation of the contractile ring during early anaphase, leading to the development of a cleavage furrow in the cell membrane during telophase. This process results in the cell dividing into two new daughter cells. The video also demonstrates these events in a real living cell, starting from metaphase, where duplicated chromosomes align in the center of the mitotic spindle. As the process continues into anaphase and telophase, the chromosomes are pulled apart, shrink, and revert to chromatin, culminating in the formation of two new cells.

Explain the changes that occur to chromosomes during telophase.
