Explain the four phases of cell division

Mitosis takes place in four stages: prophase (sometimes divided into early prophase and prometaphase), metaphase, anaphase, and telophase.

Mitosis is the process in which the nucleus of a eukaryotic cell divides. During this process, sister chromatids separate from each other and move to opposite poles of the cell. This happens in four phases, called prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase

The four phases of cell division are prophase, metaphase, anaphase and telophase.

Explanation:

During the prophase, mitotic spindle begins to form. the chromosomes start to condence and the nucleus disappears.

During the metaphase, the chromosomes align themselves in the moddle of the cell. They form a metaphase plate by this alignment.

During anaphase, the sister chromatids are pulled towards the opposite poles by the microtubules.

During the telophase, chromatids have been equally divided to each part. Hence, the mitotic spindle breaks down. Nuclear membranes forms again around the two daughter cells.
