Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which of the following is not a step in mitosis?
A
Telophase
B
Prophase
C
Anaphase
D
Cytokinesis
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Interphase is not a phase of mitosis.

Detailed explanation-2: -Cytokinesis is the final physical cell division that follows telophase, and is therefore sometimes considered a sixth phase of mitosis. All phases of mitosis, as well as the flanking periods of interphase and cytokinesis before and after, are shown in Figure 8.

Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -Thus, cytokinesis can be considered to occur in four stages-initiation, contraction, membrane insertion, and completion.

Detailed explanation-5: -prophase, prometaphase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase, and cytokinesis. metaphase, prometaphase, prophase, anaphase, telophase, and cytokinesis.
