Understand that mitosis is the process of cell division that results in two genetically identical daughter cells from a single parent cell.
Recall the phases of mitosis, which are Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, and Telophase, in that specific order.
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 plane, known as the metaphase plate.
In Anaphase, the sister chromatids are pulled apart toward opposite poles of the cell, and finally, in Telophase, the chromosomes de-condense, and the nuclear envelope re-forms around each set of chromosomes.
