Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Identify the correct order of the phases of mitosis.
A
interphase, metaphase, prophase, anaphase
B
metaphase, prophase, anaphase, telophase
C
prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase
D
telophase, interphase, metaphase, anaphase
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The correct option is D Prophase-Metaphase-Anaphase-Telophase. Mitotic phase or M phase is divided into four stages. They are: Prophase-The first stage which is marked by the initiation of condensation of chromosomal material.

Detailed explanation-2: -These phases are prophase, prometaphase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase. Cytokinesis is the final physical cell division that follows telophase, and is therefore sometimes considered a sixth phase of mitosis.

Detailed explanation-3: -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.

Detailed explanation-4: -prophase, prometaphase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase, and cytokinesis. metaphase, prometaphase, prophase, anaphase, telophase, and cytokinesis.
