telophase I

The stage in the first meiotic division of meiosis that follows anaphase I. The two sets of chromosomes have finished moving to opposite ends of the cell. Cytokinesis occurs, forming two daughter cells. Nuclear membranes do not form and the chromosomes do not decondense at this point, however, as they would in mitosis.
