Mitosis is described as having several phases: prophase where chromosomes condense and centrioles separate, metaphase where chromosomes line up in the center, anaphase where centromeres separate and chromosomes are pulled to opposite poles, and telophase where the nuclear envelope reforms and cytokinesis occurs to separate the cytoplasm into two daughter cells through animal cell pinching or plant cell plate formation.
