The phases of mitosis are:
1. Prophase: Chromatin condenses into chromosomes, nuclear membrane breaks down, and spindle fibers begin to form.
2. Prometaphase: Chromosomes attach to spindle fibers at their centromeres and start to move towards the center of the cell.
3. Metaphase: Chromosomes align along the metaphase plate in the center of the cell.
4. Anaphase: Sister chromatids separate and move towards opposite poles of the cell.
5. Telophase: Chromosomes reach the poles of the cell, nuclear membranes reform around each set of chromosomes, and the spindle fibers disassemble.
6. Cytokinesis: The cell divides into two daughter cells, each with its own set of chromosomes.
