a)
Prophase
b)
Cytokinesis
c)
Interphase

Anaphase
5.
This is the stage of the cell cycle (4th phase of mitosis) where new nuclear membranes form around the two sets of daughter chromosomes, which unwind into chromatin.
a)
Interphase
b)
Prophase
c)
Anaphase
d)
Telophase
6.
This is the stage of the cell cycle (2nd phase of mitosis) where the centromere in each chromosome attaches to a spindle fiber, and the chromosomes form a line along the middle of the cell.
