THE CELL CYCLE

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What is the correct order of the cell cycle?
A
Cytokinesis, mitosis, telophase, anaphase, metaphase, prophase, and then interphase.
B
Interphase, prophase, anaphase, metaphase, telophase, metaphaseand then cytokinesis.
C
Prophase, interphase, anaphase, metaphase, telophase, cytokinesis, and then mitosis.
D
Interphase, prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase, mitosis, and then cytokinesis.
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: -The cell cycle is a four-stage process in which the cell increases in size (gap 1, or G1, stage), copies its DNA (synthesis, or S, stage), prepares to divide (gap 2, or G2, stage), and divides (mitosis, or M, stage).

Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -The correct order of the phases of the M phase is Prophase
