Explanation:

To describe each phase of mitosis (PMAT: Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase) in simple terms:

Prophase

• Chromosomes condense (become visible), nuclear membrane breaks down, spindle fibers start to form.

Metaphase

• Chromosomes line up along the middle (equator) of the cell. Spindle fibers attach to centromeres of chromosomes.

Anaphase

• Sister chromatids (copied chromosomes) are pulled apart to opposite ends of the cell by spindle fibers.

Telophase

• Chromosomes reach opposite poles, nuclear membranes reform around each set of chromosomes, spindle fibers break down. Chromosomes start to decondense.

If you need to fill the table, you can use these concise descriptions (e.g., for Prophase: "Chromosomes condense, nucleus breaks"; Metaphase: "Chromosomes line at equator"; Anaphase: "Sister chromatids separate"; Telophase: "Nuclei reform, chromosomes uncoil").
