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 nuclear envelope begins to break down.
Recognize that metaphase is the phase where chromosomes line up along the middle of the cell, known as the metaphase plate. This alignment ensures that each daughter cell will receive an identical set of chromosomes.
In anaphase, the sister chromatids are pulled apart toward opposite poles of the cell by the spindle fibers.
Finally, during telophase, the chromosomes begin to de-condense, and the nuclear envelope re-forms around each set of chromosomes, completing the process of mitosis.
