Telophase

After the chromosome seperates, the cell seals off, Final Phase of Mitosis.

G1

Cell growth and normal functions the phases of the cycle (first gap)

Found inside the nucleus and produces ribosomes is the largest structure inside the nucleus, and it is responsible for producing. is made three regions; two thread-like fibrillar components and one granular component.

Anaphase
