Detailed explanation-1: -During telophase, the newly separated chromosomes reach the mitotic spindle and a nuclear membrane forms around each set of chromosomes, thus creating two separate nuclei inside the same cell.

Detailed explanation-2: -During telophase, a nuclear membrane forms around each set of chromosomes to separate the nuclear DNA from the cytoplasm.

Detailed explanation-3: -Once mitosis is complete, the cell has two groups of 46 chromosomes, each enclosed with their own nuclear membrane. The cell then splits in two by a process called cytokinesis, creating two clones of the original cell, each with 46 monovalent chromosomes.

Detailed explanation-4: -During the completion of mitosis (telophase), two new nuclei form around the separated sets of daughter chromosomes (see Figure 8.29).

Detailed explanation-5: -During interphase, the cell grows and makes a copy of its DNA. During the mitotic (M) phase, the cell separates its DNA into two sets and divides its cytoplasm, forming two new cells.
