Understand that mitosis is the process of cell division where a single cell divides to produce two identical daughter cells. It consists of several phases that occur in a specific order.
Recall the correct sequence of mitosis phases: Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, and Telophase. Each phase has distinct characteristics and roles in the division process.
Prophase: This is the first phase where chromatin condenses into visible chromosomes, the nuclear envelope begins to break down, and the mitotic spindle starts to form.
Metaphase: In this phase, chromosomes align at the metaphase plate (the cell's equatorial plane), and spindle fibers attach to the centromeres of the chromosomes.
Anaphase and Telophase: Anaphase follows Metaphase, where sister chromatids are pulled apart to opposite poles of the cell. Telophase is the final phase, where the nuclear envelope re-forms around the separated chromosomes, and the cell prepares to divide through cytokinesis.
