THE CELL CYCLE

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
All of these are stages of mitosis, except
A
prophase
B
metaphase
C
telophase
D
interphase
Explanation: 

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

Detailed explanation-3: -Final answer: M-phase is not a part of interphase.

Detailed explanation-4: -Although we often talk about interphase and mitosis together, interphase is technically not part of mitosis. However, both processes are part of the larger cell cycle, where interphase consists of the G 1start subscript, 1, end subscript, S, and G 2start subscript, 2, end subscript stages of the cell cycle.
