Verified step by step guidance
1
Understand the stages of mitosis: Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, and Telophase, followed by Cytokinesis.
Recall that during Prophase, the chromatin condenses into visible chromosomes and the mitotic spindle begins to form.
In Metaphase, chromosomes align at the cell's equatorial plate.
During Anaphase, sister chromatids are pulled apart toward opposite poles of the cell.
Recognize that in Telophase, the nuclear envelope re-forms around each set of chromosomes, and the cleavage furrow begins to form, leading to the physical separation of the cell during Cytokinesis.
