Understand the stages of mitosis: Mitosis is divided into several phases: prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase.
Recognize the characteristics of each phase: In prophase, the chromatin condenses into visible chromosomes, and the mitotic spindle begins to form.
Identify the key event in prophase: Chromosomes become visible as distinct structures during prophase due to the condensation of chromatin.
Differentiate from other phases: In metaphase, chromosomes align at the cell's equatorial plane; in anaphase, sister chromatids separate; and in telophase, chromosomes de-condense.
Conclude that the phase where chromosomes first become visible is prophase, as this is when chromatin condenses into distinct chromosomes.
