1) Prophase: chromatin into chromosomes, the nuclear envelope break down, chromosomes attach to spindle fibres by their centromeres 2) Metaphase: chromosomes line up along the metaphase plate (centre of the cell) 3) Anaphase: sister chromatids are pulled to opposite poles of the cell 4) Telophase: nuclear envelope
I hope that helps
Answer:
Mitosis has four stages: prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase.
You can remember the order of the phases with Please Pee on the MAT
In early prophase, the cell starts to break down some structures and build others up, setting the stage for division of the chromosomes.
In late prophase (sometimes also called prometaphase), the mitotic spindle begins to capture and organize the chromosomes.
In metaphase, the spindle has captured all the chromosomes and lined them up at the middle of the cell, ready to divide.
In anaphase, the sister chromatids separate from each other and are pulled towards opposite ends of the cell.
In telophase, the cell is nearly done dividing, and it starts to re-establish its normal structures as cytokinesis (division of the cell contents) takes place.
Cytokinesis, the division of the cytoplasm to form two new cells, overlaps with the final stages of mitosis. It may start in either anaphase or telophase, depending on the cell, and finishes shortly after telophase.
I was stuck on this too, you can watch this video to explain it much better
