Telophase is the fifth and final phase of mitosis, the process that separates the duplicated genetic material carried in the nucleus of a parent cell into two identical daughter cells. Telophase begins once the replicated, paired chromosomes have been separated and pulled to opposite sides, or poles, of the cell.
Grand juries consist of 16 to 23 jurors (it's up to the judge), but 12 yes votes are always required for an indictment. Grand jurors are selected from the same voter registration rolls used to pick ordinary federal jurors. Hundreds are summoned when a new jury is needed and then the judge excuses people who would find it especially burdensome to give up two or three days a week for a year and a half. As a result, grand jurors are generally retirees, the unemployed, or government employees.
If a trial is expected to last more than one day, alternate jurors may be selected in case a juror must be excused during the trial. Unlike the petit jury, a grand jury hears evidence about alleged crimes (usually felonies), and only decides whether or not a person should be indicted and tried for committing a crime.
