• Interphase is not a phase of mitosis. It is the stage where the cell prepares for mitosis.
• In prophase, the chromatin condenses into chromosomes, the nuclear envelope breaks down, and spindle fibers begin to form.
• In metaphase, chromosomes align at the equatorial plane.
• In anaphase, sister chromatids separate and move to opposite poles.
