In what phase does the DNA recondense after mitosis?

During telophase, the process of recondensing DNA occurs after the chromosomes have been separated and pulled to opposite sides of the dividing cell. At this stage, each set of chromosomes arrives at the poles of the cell and begins to unwind from their tightly coiled structure, transitioning back to a less condensed state known as chromatin. This change is crucial because it prepares the genetic material for transcription and replication in future cell cycles. Additionally, during telophase, the nuclear envelope reforms around each set of chromosomes, further facilitating the transition from the condensed chromosomal form back to the more diffuse chromatin form. This restoration is essential for the normal functioning of the daughter cells once the division process is completed.
