Verified step by step guidance1
Recall the sequence of phases in mitosis, which are Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, and Telophase, in that order.
Understand that mitosis begins with Prophase, where chromatin condenses into visible chromosomes and the mitotic spindle starts to form.
Recognize that Metaphase follows Prophase, characterized by chromosomes aligning at the metaphase plate.
Note that Anaphase comes after Metaphase, involving the separation of sister chromatids toward opposite poles.
Finally, Telophase occurs, where chromosomes decondense and nuclear envelopes reform, completing mitosis.
