Understand that mitosis is the process of cell division that results in two genetically identical daughter cells from a single parent cell.
Recall the four main stages of mitosis: Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, and Telophase.
In Prophase, the chromatin condenses into visible chromosomes, and the mitotic spindle begins to form.
During Metaphase, the chromosomes align at the cell's equatorial plate, and spindle fibers attach to the centromeres of the chromosomes.
In Anaphase, the sister chromatids are pulled apart toward opposite poles of the cell, and finally, in Telophase, the chromosomes arrive at the poles, and the nuclear envelope re-forms around each set of chromosomes.
