Verified step by step guidance1
Understand that interphase is the stage where the cell prepares for division by replicating its DNA and organelles. It is not part of mitosis but precedes it.
Recognize that mitosis is the process of cell division that results in two daughter cells, each with the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell.
Identify the stages of mitosis: prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase.
Learn that prophase is the first stage of mitosis, where the chromatin condenses into visible chromosomes, and the mitotic spindle begins to form.
Conclude that prophase is the stage that directly follows interphase in the cell cycle.
