3. Two rod-like strands replicated by a chromosome during interphase; becomes a daughter chromosome by the end of cell division- SISTER CHROMATIDS 

4. a system of fibers stretching from one end of a mitotic cell to the other -SPINDLE APPARATUS

5. The phase of mitosis in which the daughter chromosomes have reached opposite ends of the cell, the nuclear envelope and nucleolus reform, and the process of cytokinesis begins - TELOPHASE
