(i) The stage shown in the diagram is telophase. During telophase, the mitotic spindle disappears, the chromosomes uncoil and two sets of daughter chromosomes reach opposite poles and the nuclear envelope reforms.
(ii) Part numbered 1 and 2 are:
- 1 → Daughter chromosome
- 2 → Nuclear membrane.
(iii) The technical term for the division of nucleus is Karyokinesis.
(iv) The stage that comes before this stage is Anaphase. It's labelled diagram is shown below:
