Verified step by step guidance1
Understand that mitosis is a process of cell division that results in two genetically identical daughter cells from a single parent cell.
Recognize that mitosis consists of several phases: prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase.
Identify that anaphase is the third phase of mitosis, following metaphase.
During anaphase, the sister chromatids, which are identical copies of a chromosome connected by a centromere, are pulled apart by the spindle fibers.
These sister chromatids are moved to opposite poles of the cell, ensuring that each new daughter cell will receive an identical set of chromosomes.
