Answer 1

Prophase — condensing
- Chromosomes condense (become visible) and the mitotic spindle begins to form.

Metaphase — line up in the middle
- Chromosomes (sister chromatids) align along the cell's equator (metaphase plate).

Anaphase — move away from center
- Sister chromatids separate and are pulled toward opposite poles of the cell.

Telophase — put in two nuclei
- Chromosomes arrive at the poles, decondense, and new nuclear envelopes form around each set, producing two nuclei.
