Understand that mitosis is the process of nuclear division in eukaryotic cells, which is divided into distinct phases.
Recall the main phases of mitosis: Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, and Telophase.
Recognize that Interphase and S phase are parts of the cell cycle but not phases of mitosis; Interphase is when the cell prepares for division, and S phase is when DNA replication occurs.
Know that Cytokinesis is the division of the cytoplasm and usually follows mitosis but is not itself a phase of mitosis.
Identify Metaphase as the correct phase of mitosis where chromosomes align at the cell's equatorial plate.
