There are four stages of mitosis: prophase, metaphase,

anaphase and telophase.
1) Prophase: chromatin into chromosomes, the nuclear
envelope break down, chromosomes attach to spindle fibres
by their centromeres
2) Metaphase: chromosomes line up along the metaphase
plate (centre of the cell)
3) Anaphase: sister chromatids are pulled to opposite poles
of the cell
4) Telophase: nuclear envelope reforms, chromosomes
unfold into chromatin, cytokinesis can begin The order of the
stages of mitosis can be remembered using the mnemonic
Prophase is the first stage of cell division in both mitosis and
meiosis. Beginning after interphase, DNA has already been
replicated when the cell enters prophase. The main
occurrences in prophase are the condensation of the
chromatin reticulum and the disappearance of the nucleolus.
Telophase is the fifth and final phase of mitosis, the process
that separates the duplicated genetic material carried in the
nucleus of a parent cell into two identical daughter cells. ...
During telophase, a nuclear membrane forms around each
set of chromosomes to separate the nuclear DNA from the
cytoplasm. Metaphase is the third phase of mitosis, the
process that separates duplicated genetic material carried in
the nucleus of a parent cell into two identical daughter
cells. ... Long protein filaments called kinetochore
microtubules extended from poles on either end of the cell
and attached to the kinetochores. Anaphase is the fourth
phase of mitosis, the process that separates the duplicated
genetic material carried in the nucleus of a parent cell into
two identical daughter cells. ... The separated chromosomes
are then pulled by the spindle to opposite poles of the cell.
