The stages of mitosis are:
1. Prophase - During prophase, the chromosomes condense and become visible. The nuclear membrane breaks down and the spindle fibers begin to form.
2. Metaphase - In metaphase, the chromosomes line up at the center of the cell along the metaphase plate. The spindle fibers attach to the centromeres of the chromosomes.
3. Anaphase - Anaphase is the stage where the sister chromatids are pulled apart by the spindle fibers and moved towards opposite poles of the cell.
4. Telophase - In telophase, the chromosomes arrive at the poles of the cell and begin to de-condense. A nuclear membrane forms around each set of chromosomes.
5. Cytokinesis - Cytokinesis is the final stage of mitosis where the cytoplasm divides and the cell membrane pinches inwards, ultimately forming two separate daughter cells.
Overall, mitosis is the process by which a single cell divides to produce two identical daughter cells with the same number of chromosomes as the original cell.
