The process of mitosis starts with one parent cell, and results in two identical daughter cells. During ​ (a)   , the cell elongates and pinches inward, while the nuclear envelope re-forms. In ​ (b)   , the chromatids begin to pull apart and move to opposite poles. During ​ ​ (c)   , the nuclear envelope begins to break down, and the chromosomes fully condense. In ​ (d)   , the centrioles migrate to opposite ends of the cell, while the chromosomes line up in the center, ready to divideA

• Telophase

• Anaphase

• Prophase

• Metaphase
