Anaphase vs. Telophase — What's the Difference?

Anaphase (from the Greek ἀνά, "up" and φάσις, "stage"), is the stage of mitosis after the process of metaphase, when replicated chromosomes are split and the newly-copied chromosomes (daughter chromatids) are moved to opposite poles of the cell. Chromosomes also reach their overall maximum condensation in late anaphase, to help chromosome segregation and the re-formation of the nucleus.Anaphase starts when the anaphase promoting complex marks an inhibitory chaperone called securin for destruction by ubiquinylating it.

Telophase (from the Greek τέλος (télos), "end" and φάσις (phásis), "stage") is the final stage in both meiosis and mitosis in a eukaryotic cell. During telophase, the effects of prophase and prometaphase (the nucleolus and nuclear membrane disintegrating) are reversed.

The stage of mitosis and meiosis in which the chromosomes move to opposite ends of the nuclear spindle.

The final stage of mitosis or meiosis during which the chromosomes of daughter cells are grouped in new nuclei.

(cytology) The stage of mitosis and meiosis during which the chromosomes separate; the chromatid moving to opposite poles of the cell.

(biology) The final stage of mitosis or meiosis during which the daughter chromosomes move towards opposite ends of the nuclear spindle

The stage of meiosis or mitosis when chromosomes move toward opposite ends of the nuclear spindle.
