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 chromatin condenses into visible chromosomes, and the mitotic spindle begins to form.
In metaphase, the chromosomes align at the metaphase plate, which is the equatorial plane of the cell.
Anaphase is the phase where the sister chromatids are separated. The spindle fibers shorten, pulling the chromatids apart toward opposite poles of the cell.
Finally, in telophase, the separated chromatids reach the poles, and the nuclear envelope re-forms around each set of chromosomes, completing the process of mitosis.
