Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What are the phases in order of the cell cycle?
A
Interphase, Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase, Cytokinesis
B
Prophase, Anaphase, Telophase, Cytokinesis
C
Interphase, Mitosis, Telophase, Anaphase
D
Cytokinesis, Interphase, Metaphase, Telophase
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -These phases are prophase, prometaphase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase.

Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -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.
