Verified step by step guidance1
Understand that mitosis is the process of cell division that results in two daughter cells with identical genetic material.
Recall the stages of mitosis: Prophase, Prometaphase, Metaphase, Anaphase, and Telophase.
Identify the correct sequence of these stages: Prophase is the first stage where chromatin condenses into chromosomes.
Prometaphase follows Prophase, where the nuclear envelope breaks down and spindle fibers attach to chromosomes.
Metaphase is next, where chromosomes align at the cell's equatorial plate, followed by Anaphase where sister chromatids separate, and finally Telophase where the cell prepares to divide into two.
