Telophase__Chromosomes are at opposite ends of the cell; spindle
begins to break apart; nuclear membrane reforms
Prophase___Chromosomes become thick and visible; nucleolus
disappears; nuclear membrane disintegrates.

Sex cells have 23 chromosomes because a male gamete will combine with a female gamete to produce a cell with 46 chromosomes.

Haploid cell: contains only a single set of chromosomes (n=23 chromosomes in humans)
Diploid: a cell that contains both sets of homologous chromosomes (2n= 46
chromosomes in humans)
