Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What are the steps of mitosis in the correct sequence?
A
prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase
B
anaphase, telophase, prophase, metaphase
C
prophase, anaphase, metaphase, telophase
D
metaphase, prophase, anaphase, telophase
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Mitosis consists of four basic phases: prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase. These phases occur in this strict sequential order, and cytokinesis-the process of dividing the cell contents to make two new cells-starts in anaphase or telophase.

Detailed explanation-2: -Stages of mitosis: prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase. Cytokinesis typically overlaps with anaphase and/or telophase. You can remember the order of the phases with the famous mnemonic: [Please] Pee on the MAT.

Detailed explanation-3: -The correct order of stages in mitosis is prophase, metaphase, anaphase and telophase.

Detailed explanation-4: -Mitosis steps consist of prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase; the cell undergoes nucleus division and split into two identical daughter cells. The stages of mitosis occur in sequence with specific events in each one. By observing the chromosome, one can identify the mitotic process.

Detailed explanation-5: -Prophase – The chromosomes shorten and thicken. Metaphase – Chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell. Anaphase – Chromatids break apart at the centromere and move to opposite poles. Telophase – Two nuclei formed after nuclear envelopes reform around each group of chromosomes.
