(5) Telophase
(6) Late Telophase

Explanation

The stages of mitosis in order:

  1. Interphase - cell grows and DNA replicates; chromosomes appear as diffuse chromatin
  2. Prophase - chromosomes condense and become visible; spindle begins to form; nuclear envelope breaks down
  3. Metaphase - chromosomes line up along the cell's equator; centromeres divide in two
  4. Anaphase - sister chromatids are pulled to opposite poles
  5. Telophase - chromosomes arrive at poles; nuclear envelopes reform
  6. Late Telophase - cytoplasm divides (cytokinesis); two daughter cells form
