Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What is the order of the cell cycle
A
interphase, prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase, cytokinesis
B
prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase, interphase, cytokinesis
C
interphase, metaphase, prophase, anaphase, telophase, cytokinesis
D
interphase, anaphase, metaphase, telophase, prophase, 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: -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.
