Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the sequence of phases in mitosis: Mitosis is divided into several phases: prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase.
Recall the characteristics of metaphase: During metaphase, chromosomes align at the cell's equatorial plane, preparing for separation.
Identify the phase following metaphase: After chromosomes are aligned, the next step is their separation.
Recognize anaphase: In anaphase, sister chromatids are pulled apart toward opposite poles of the cell.
Conclude the sequence: After anaphase, the cell progresses to telophase, where the chromosomes reach the poles and begin to de-condense.
