Mitosis is cell division in which the cell divides in two to produce two identical daughter cells. The nucleus divides to produce two new nuclei
Mitosis has 4 phases
Prophase - in which the nuclear envelope dissolves. But prior to this there is a doubling of the chromosome number in the G2 phase of the cell cycle. In late prophase the spindle apparatus is formed as the centrioles duplicate and migrate to opposite poles of...

Mitosis has 4 phases
Prophase - in which the nuclear envelope dissolves. But prior to this there is a doubling of the chromosome number in the G2 phase of the cell cycle. In late prophase the spindle apparatus is formed as the centrioles duplicate and migrate to opposite poles of the cell
Metaphase - in which the homologous chromosomes align on the equator of the spindle apparatus.
Anaphase - in which the homologous chromosomes migrate to opposite poles of the cell.
Telophase - cytokinesis ( literally cell splitting ) happens here as an invagination or furrow is created into the cell membrane and the cell breaks off into two new cells with the same ( diploid) number of chromosomes as the original parent cell. This was all set up by the doubling (replication of the chromosomes) in the G2 phase of the cell cycle
