The first phase in mitosis is prophase, during which the chromosomes condense, the nuclear envelope breaks down, and the mitotic spindle fibers begin to form.
A human liver cell would have the same number of chromosomes (46) after undergoing mitosis as it did before. Mitosis is a type of cell division that results in two daughter cells with the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell.
There are a total of 46 replicated chromosomes (plus 46 original), since metaphase precedes the actual division in anaphase, and each daughter cell receives 46 chromosomes in mitosis.
The phase of mitosis in which the nuclear envelope reforms around each cluster of chromosomes is called telophase. During this stage, the chromosomes begin to de-condense back into chromatin, and the nuclear envelope reassembles, resulting in the formation of two distinct nuclei in the daughter cells. This marks the end of mitosis, leading into cytokinesis, where the cell divides into two separate cells.
The fastest stage of mitosis is prophase, where the nuclear envelope breaks down and the chromosomes condense. This stage sets the foundation for the subsequent stages of mitosis to occur efficiently.
The first phase in mitosis is prophase, during which the chromosomes condense, the nuclear envelope breaks down, and the mitotic spindle fibers begin to form.
Before the nuclear envelope of a cell breaks down during the mitosis process, the DNA has to be duplicated. After the envelope dissolves, the chromosomes separate, then the cell finally splits.

Metaphase is identified in a cell undergoing mitosis by the alignment of chromosomes along the cell's equator. At this stage, the chromosomes are condensed and can be visualized under a microscope. Additionally, the nuclear envelope has already broken down in preparation for division.
There are a total of 46 replicated chromosomes (plus 46 original), since metaphase precedes the actual division in anaphase, and each daughter cell receives 46 chromosomes in mitosis.
The extra set of chromosomes is obtained by replicating the original pair. The two chromosomes end up in different cells at the end of mitosis.
The phase of mitosis in which the nuclear envelope reforms around each cluster of chromosomes is called telophase. During this stage, the chromosomes begin to de-condense back into chromatin, and the nuclear envelope reassembles, resulting in the formation of two distinct nuclei in the daughter cells. This marks the end of mitosis, leading into cytokinesis, where the cell divides into two separate cells.
The following process happens in the prophase of mitosis, during which the nuclear envelope will disappear along with the nucleolus. The chromosomes are then ready to be moved to the center to be split.
Telophase
Open mitosis occurs in most animal cells where the nuclear envelope breaks down ("opens" before the chromosomes separate. Closed mitosis occurs in some fungi, such as Aspergillusand Saccharomycesspecies, where the chromosomes divide within an intact ("closed") cell nucleus.
During the telophase phase, the chromosomes begin to uncoil. There are six phases with mitosis and telophase is number four.
The chromosomes are protected by a structure called the nuclear envelope, which consists of two lipid bilayers that surround the nucleus. This envelope acts as a barrier, regulating the passage of molecules in and out of the nucleus to protect the genetic material within the chromosomes.
