Answers

The first phase of mitosis is called prophase. During prophase, several key events occur:
1. The chromatin condenses into visible chromosomes, which become distinct and can be seen under a microscope.
2. Each chromosome consists of two sister chromatids joined at the centromere.
3. The nuclear envelope begins to break down.
4. The mitotic spindle starts to form, composed of microtubules, and the spindle fibers extend from the centrosomes, which move to opposite poles of the cell.
If you're asking about a specific type of cell that is undergoing mitosis, it can be any actively dividing somatic cell, such as skin cells, gut epithelial cells, or any other cell type that replicates as part of growth, repair, or maintenance.
