At the end of mitosis, the process of cytokinesis occurs, which is the division of the cytoplasm, resulting in two separate cells.
During mitosis, the chromosomes have already been duplicated and are equally distributed to each daughter cell.
The nuclear envelope reforms around each set of chromosomes, creating two distinct nuclei within the cell.
The chromosomes de-condense, becoming less visible under a microscope, as they return to their interphase state.
The end result of mitosis is two genetically identical daughter cells, each with the same number of chromosomes as the original parent cell.
