A biologist is studying cell division in a tissue sample. She records the following sequence of events:
- The cell grows and organelles multiply.
- DNA replication occurs.
- Chromosomes condense and align at the centre of the cell.
- The cell splits into two daughter cells.
Outline the correct order of the stages of the mitotic cell cycle that correspond to this description. In your answer, include the names of the main stages and the key events of each stage.
