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

Detailed explanation-1: -These phases occur in strict sequential order, and cytokinesis-the process of dividing the cell contents to make two new cells-starts in anaphase or telophase. Stages of mitosis: prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase. Cytokinesis typically overlaps with anaphase and/or telophase.

Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -Mitosis is conventionally divided into 5 phases, which include prophase, prometaphase, metaphase, anaphase and telophase and cytokinesis.

Detailed explanation-4: -The cell cycle of a eukaryotic cell has three stages: interphase, mitosis, and cytokinesis. The first stage of the cell cycle is called interphase. During interphase, the cell grows and makes copies of its chromosomes and organelles. The two copies of a chromosome are called chromatids.

Detailed explanation-5: -Telophase: Since cells are really a tidy lot, the new daughter cells start re-forming their internal structures even while they’re still connected along the membrane. The mitotic spindle is the first structure to be broken down, its building blocks recycled into the new cells’ support skeletons.
