During prophase, the chromosomes condense and become visible as shorter and thicker structures. Anaphase is characterized by the separation of sister chromatids, metaphase is when the chromosomes align in the middle of the cell, interphase is the phase where the cell prepares for mitosis and telophase is when the nuclear envelope reforms around the chromosomes.
