The correct statement that describes mitosis is:

Mitosis includes several steps that occur after the DNA has been copied but before the cytoplasm is divided.

Mitosis is the process of nuclear division that follows the replication of DNA during the S phase of the cell cycle and precedes cytokinesis, which is the division of the cytoplasm.
