Explanation:
Prophase is the first stage of mitosis where chromatin condenses into visible chromosomes, the nucleolus fades, and the mitotic spindle begins to form. In metaphase chromosomes align, in telophase they decondense and the nucleolus reappears. Interphase is not a mitotic phase.
Consider the following statements about mitosis:
1. It produces diploid cells.
2. It is involved in growth and repair.
3. It reduces chromosome number by half.
