Metaphase
D
Anaphase
Verified step by step guidance1
Recall the sequence of phases in mitosis, which are Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, and Telophase.
Understand that mitosis is the process by which a eukaryotic cell divides its duplicated chromosomes into two identical sets.
Identify that the first phase, Prophase, involves the condensation of chromatin into visible chromosomes and the beginning of spindle formation.
Recognize that Metaphase, Anaphase, and Telophase occur after Prophase, each with distinct roles in chromosome alignment, separation, and nuclear reformation respectively.
Conclude that since Prophase initiates the visible steps of mitosis, it is the first phase of mitosis in eukaryotic cells.
