Question

Prophase is the first stage of mitosis, where the replicated chromosomes condense and become visible. Telophase is the last stage, where the chromosomes decondense and become indistinct. Therefore, telophase is essentially the reverse of prophase. Anaphase is the stage where the sister chromatids separate and move towards opposite poles of the cell. Metaphase is the stage where the chromosomes align at the equatorial plate. Interphase is not a stage of mitosis, but the stage of the cell cycle where the cell grows and replicates its DNA. Cytokinesis is the final stage of the cell cycle, where the cell membrane and cytoplasm divide to form two daughter cells. None of these stages are reversible in the same way as prophase and telophase.
