MITOSIS AND MEIOSIS

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What is the correct order of mitosis? Beginning with interphase.
A
interphase, prophase, telophase, anaphase, metaphase
B
prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase, interphase
C
interphase, prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase
D
metaphase, telophase, anaphase, telophase, interphase
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -These phases occur in strict sequential order, and cytokinesis-the process of dividing the cell contents to make two new cells-starts in anaphase or telophase. Stages of mitosis: prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase.

Detailed explanation-2: -Mitosis is conventionally divided into 5 phases, which include prophase, prometaphase, metaphase, anaphase and telophase and cytokinesis.

Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -The correct sequence is (b) interphase, prophase. metaphase, anaphase, telophase.
