Understand that mitosis is the process of cell division where a single cell divides into two identical daughter cells. It consists of several stages that occur in a specific order.
Recall the correct sequence of mitosis stages: Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, and Telophase. These stages are part of the mitotic phase, which follows interphase (where the cell prepares for division).
Prophase: Chromatin condenses into visible chromosomes, and the nuclear envelope begins to break down. 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 and move toward opposite poles of the cell. Telophase: Chromosomes decondense, nuclear envelopes reform around the two sets of chromosomes, and the cell begins to divide.
