Verified step by step guidance1
Recall the main phases of mitosis: Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, and Telophase, each with distinct events.
Understand that during Prophase, chromosomes condense and the mitotic spindle begins to form.
Recognize that in Metaphase, chromosomes align at the metaphase plate (center of the cell).
Identify that Anaphase is the phase where sister chromatids separate and are pulled toward opposite poles by spindle fibers.
Note that Telophase involves the reformation of the nuclear envelope around the separated chromatids, now called daughter chromosomes.
