Phases of Mitosis in order,
Interphase: The beginning phase, absorbs nutrients, grows, reads DNA, and produces proteins.
Prophase: The preparative phase where chromosomes begin to spiralize and the nuclear membrane and nuclear bodies disappear.
Metaphase: The middle phase, all chromosomes are completely spiralized and moved to the middle of the cell.
Anaphase: The separation phase, two chromatids of each chromosome are pulled apart by the microtubules.
Telophase: The final phase, the spindle disappears, the chromosomes despiralize, a new nuclear envelop is formed, and the new nucleoli are visible.
