MITOSIS AND MEIOSIS

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The 3 stages of the cell cycle are
A
mitosis, meiosis, cytokinesis
B
interphase, mitosis, cytokinesis
C
interphase, meiosis, cytokinesis
D
prophase, mitosis, cytokinesis
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The cell cycle is composed of interphase (G₁, S, and G₂ phases), followed by the mitotic phase (mitosis and cytokinesis), and G₀ phase.

Detailed explanation-2: -The cell cycle of a eukaryotic cell has three stages: interphase, mitosis, and cytokinesis.

Detailed explanation-3: -Thus, cytokinesis can be considered to occur in four stages-initiation, contraction, membrane insertion, and completion. The central problem for a cell undergoing cytokinesis is to ensure that it occurs at the right time and in the right place.

Detailed explanation-4: -3. Metaphase: The chromosomes line up neatly end-to-end along the centre (equator) of the cell. The centrioles are now at opposite poles of the cell with the mitotic spindle fibres extending from them.
