Answer

1) Prophase: Chromatin is condensed, separate chromatids are now visible through a light microscope. 2) Prometaphase: The compacted chromosomes, each consisting of two chromatids, attach to the mitotic spindles. 3) Metaphase: The chromosomes line up at the middle of the cell. 4) Anaphase: The chromatids separate and move toward opposite poles. 5) Telophase: Nuclear envelope forms around each set of chromosomes as they become less compact.
