Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
All of the following are phases in mitosis EXCEPT,
A
anaphase
B
metaphase
C
interphase
D
telephase
E
prophase
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Interphase is not a phase of mitosis. It is a phase prior to mitosis during which the cell does not divide but makes preparations to divide.

Detailed explanation-2: -Solution : interphase in a cell cycle has three stages ‘-G (1), S‘ and ‘G (2)‘ M-phase is not a part of interphase.

Detailed explanation-3: -These phases are prophase, prometaphase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase.

Detailed explanation-4: -Interphase is composed of G1 phase (cell growth), followed by S phase (DNA synthesis), followed by G2 phase (cell growth). At the end of interphase comes the mitotic phase, which is made up of mitosis and cytokinesis and leads to the formation of two daughter cells.

Detailed explanation-5: -Interphase in a cell cycle has three stages-G1, S and G2. M-phase is not a part of interphase.
