Understand the process of mitosis, which is the division of a single cell into two genetically identical daughter cells. Mitosis consists of several phases: prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase.
Recall that during prophase, the chromosomes condense and become visible, and the mitotic spindle begins to form.
In metaphase, the chromosomes align at the cell's equatorial plane, known as the metaphase plate.
During anaphase, the sister chromatids are pulled apart by the spindle fibers and move toward opposite poles of the cell. This is the phase where the chromosomes are separated and moved to opposite ends.
Finally, in telophase, the chromosomes arrive at the poles, and the nuclear envelope re-forms around each set of chromosomes, completing the division process.
