The correct order of events during mitosis is as follows:
1. Interphase: The cell prepares for division by replicating its DNA and growing in size.
2. Prophase: Chromatin condenses into chromosomes, the nuclear membrane disintegrates, and spindle fibers begin to form.
3. Prometaphase: The spindle fibers fully form, and sister chromatids attach to the spindle fibers at their centromeres.
4. Metaphase: The chromosomes line up along the equator of the cell, known as the metaphase plate.
5. Anaphase: The spindle fibers contract, separating the sister chromatids and pulling them to opposite poles of the cell.
6. Telophase: The chromosomes reach the opposite poles of the cell, and a new nuclear membrane forms around each set of chromosomes.
7. Cytokinesis: The cell finally divides into two daughter cells, each containing a complete set of chromosomes.
