What happens in meiosis during telophase 2?

Telophase 2 is the final step of meiosis 2 in which homologous chromosomes reach the opposite poles and four haploid cells are formed.

Explanation:

The telophase 2 ends up in four haploid (n=2) cells. It is in this phase the genetic material of the parent cell is divided into 2 daughter cells. The events taking place are nuclear membrane reappears (karyokinesis has taken place by now), spindle fibres and astral rays disappear, chromosomes decondensed to become chromatids (thin fibres), constriction on equatorial plate consequently four daughter cells formed.
