The last stage of Mitosis is TELOPHASE. At the start of telophase a cleavage furrow begins to form at the cells "equator" or center, almost like a string tightening around a balloon. The cleavage furrow is a "squeezing in" of the cell membrane and it will eventually "cut" the cell in half. In the later part of telophase, the claevage furrow contracts toward the center of the cell and the "cells in motion" creates two new independent cells.
