Understand that mitosis is the process of cell division that results in two genetically identical daughter cells from a single parent cell. It consists of several stages.
Identify the stages of mitosis: Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, and Telophase. These are the phases where the nucleus divides.
Recognize that Interphase is not a stage of mitosis. It is the phase where the cell prepares for division by replicating its DNA and organelles.
Note that Cytokinesis is also not a stage of mitosis. It is the process that follows mitosis, where the cytoplasm divides, resulting in two separate cells.
Focus on the stages of mitosis: Prophase is where chromosomes condense and become visible, and Metaphase is where chromosomes align at the cell's equatorial plane.
