Understand the stages of mitosis: Mitosis is divided into several stages: prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase.
Identify the characteristics of each stage: In prophase, the chromatin condenses into visible chromosomes, and the nuclear envelope begins to break down.
Recognize that during metaphase, the chromosomes align at the cell's equatorial plane, and the nuclear envelope is not visible.
In anaphase, the sister chromatids are pulled apart to opposite poles of the cell, and the nuclear envelope is still not visible.
During telophase, the nuclear envelope re-forms around the separated sets of chromosomes, making it visible again.
