Recall the main phases of mitosis: prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase.
Understand that chromosome condensation is the process where chromatin fibers become tightly coiled, making chromosomes visible under a light microscope.
Identify that this condensation begins during prophase, the first stage of mitosis, where chromosomes become distinct and visible.
Note that during metaphase, chromosomes align at the cell's equator, but condensation has already occurred.
Recognize that anaphase and telophase involve chromosome separation and decondensation, respectively, so condensation is not initiated in these phases.
