Understand the concept of mitosis: Mitosis is the process of cell division that results in two genetically identical daughter cells. It consists of several phases that occur in a specific order.
Learn the phases of mitosis: The phases are Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, and Telophase. Each phase has distinct characteristics and functions.
Prophase: Chromosomes condense and become visible, the nuclear envelope begins to break down, and spindle fibers start to form.
Metaphase: Chromosomes align at the metaphase plate (the center of the cell), and spindle fibers attach to the centromeres of the chromosomes.
Anaphase: Sister chromatids are pulled apart by the spindle fibers toward opposite poles of the cell, followed by Telophase, where the nuclear envelope reforms around the separated chromatids, and the cell begins to divide.
