Fred wants to summarize mitosis in the cell cycle. Which statement describes mitosis?

Mitosis is the series of steps in which the copied chromosomes are separated into two nuclei; afterward, the cytoplasm divides during cytokinesis. Therefore, mitosis occurs after DNA has been copied but before the cytoplasm is divided, as choice B states.
