Differential interference contrast (DIC) light micrograph of a cell in the telophase stage of mitosis (nuclear division). Mitosis is the formation of two daughter nuclei from one parent nucleus. At telophase sister chromatids, which are made of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid, purple), have been separated to opposite ends of the cell and two new nuclei are forming around them. Here, two of the chromatids have not separated successfully, leaving a bridge (across centre) between them. Two identical chromatids make up one chromosome, so each cell retains a copy of the parent cell's genetic information. Giemsa staining. | |
