Why telophase sometimes described as reverse prophase?

Telophase is often described as a "reverse prophase" because it involves the re-establishment of the nuclear envelope and the uncoiling of chromatin, processes that occur in the opposite order during prophase. In prophase, the chromatin condenses into distinct chromosomes and the nuclear envelope breaks down, while telophase marks the end of cell division where chromosomes decondense and the nuclear envelope reforms around each set of chromosomes. This reversal of cellular structures highlights the cyclical nature of the cell cycle.
