Quick comprehension check

Describe the key events that occur during each phase of mitosis (prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase) and explain how these events contribute to the creation of two identical daughter cells. Explain how the chromosomes are organized and separated during mitosis to ensure that each of the two resulting daughter cells receives an identical set of genetic information.
