Understand that mitosis is the process of cell division where a single cell divides to produce two identical daughter cells. It consists of several phases that occur in a specific order.
Recall the correct sequence of mitosis phases: Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, and Telophase. This order is based on the events that occur during cell division.
In Prophase, the chromatin condenses into visible chromosomes, the nuclear envelope begins to break down, and the spindle fibers start to form.
In Metaphase, the chromosomes align at the metaphase plate (the cell's equatorial plane), and spindle fibers attach to the centromeres of the chromosomes.
In Anaphase, the sister chromatids are pulled apart to opposite poles of the cell, and in Telophase, the nuclear envelope reforms around the separated chromatids, which decondense back into chromatin.
