List the phases of Mitosis and the defining features of each phase.

Prophase: Cell looks normal, spindle fibers are visible

Prometaphase: Chromatids are starting to move to the middle of the cell

Metaphase: Chromatids are lined up in the middle of the cell on the metaphase plate

Anaphase: Chromatids are being pulled to the opposite poles of the cell

Telophase & Cytokinesis: Nuclear envelope reforms and two new cells are formed
