Verified step by step guidance1
Begin by understanding the stages of mitosis: prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase.
In prophase, the chromosomes condense and become visible, and the mitotic spindle begins to form.
During metaphase, the chromosomes align at the metaphase plate, which is the center of the cell.
Anaphase is the phase where the sister chromatids are pulled apart by the spindle fibers and move toward opposite poles of the cell.
Finally, in telophase, the chromosomes arrive at the poles, and the nuclear envelope begins to reform around each set of chromosomes.
