Verified step by step guidance1
Understand that mitosis is the process of cell division that results in two daughter cells, each having the same number and kind of chromosomes as the parent nucleus.
Recognize that mitosis is divided into several phases: prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase.
Identify that the first phase of mitosis is prophase, where the chromatin condenses into visible chromosomes, and the mitotic spindle begins to form.
During prophase, the nuclear envelope starts to break down, allowing the spindle fibers to interact with the chromosomes.
Remember that prophase is followed by metaphase, anaphase, and telophase, each with distinct roles in the process of mitosis.
