• The spindles continue to move the homologous chromosomes to the poles.


• Once movement is complete, each pole has a haploid number of chromosomes.


• In most cases, cytokinesis occurs at the same time as telophase I.


• At the end of telophase I and cytokinesis, two daughter cells are produced, each with one half the number of chromosomes of the original parent cell.


• Depending on the kind of cell, various processes occur in preparation for meiosis II. There is however a constant: The genetic material does not replicate again.
