Recall the sequence of phases in mitosis: Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, and Telophase.
Understand that mitosis is the process of nuclear division, and cytokinesis (division of the cytoplasm) occurs after mitosis.
Identify that Prophase is the first phase where chromosomes condense and the spindle apparatus begins to form.
Recognize that Metaphase is the phase where chromosomes align at the metaphase plate (center of the cell).
Know that Anaphase follows Metaphase, where sister chromatids separate and move toward opposite poles, and finally Telophase is the last phase of mitosis where nuclear envelopes reform around the separated chromosomes.
