Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the process of mitosis, which is divided into several phases: prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase.
Recall that during prophase, the chromosomes condense and become visible, and the mitotic spindle begins to form.
Recognize that metaphase is the phase where chromosomes align at the equatorial plane, also known as the metaphase plate, of the spindle apparatus.
In anaphase, the sister chromatids are pulled apart toward opposite poles of the cell.
During telophase, the chromosomes arrive at the poles, and the nuclear envelope begins to reform around each set of chromosomes.
