Verified step by step guidance1
Recall the main stages of mitosis: prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase.
Understand that during prophase, chromosomes condense and the mitotic spindle begins to form.
Recognize that metaphase is characterized by chromosomes aligning at the cell's equator, also called the metaphase plate.
Know that during anaphase, sister chromatids separate and move toward opposite poles of the cell.
Remember that telophase involves the reformation of the nuclear envelope around the separated chromosomes and the beginning of cytokinesis.
