Verified step by step guidance

Understand the stages of mitosis: Mitosis is divided into several phases: prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase.

Identify the characteristics of prophase: During prophase, the chromatin condenses into visible chromosomes, and the mitotic spindle begins to form.

Recognize the role of the mitotic spindle: The mitotic spindle is crucial for separating the chromosomes during cell division.

Differentiate between the phases: In metaphase, chromosomes align at the cell's equatorial plane; in anaphase, sister chromatids separate; in telophase, the cell prepares to divide.

Conclude that the phase where chromosomes condense and the mitotic spindle begins to form is prophase.
