Mitosis is the division of cells to produce two identical daughter cells. First stage is prophase, during this phase the chromosomes condense and become visibleNext is metaphase, during this phase the chromosomes align on the midline of the cellAfter that is anaphase, here the sister chromatids are pulled apart by microtubules to opposite ends of the cellFinally is telophase, during this stage the DNA begins to decondense and the nuclear envelope reforms
