MITOSIS AND MEIOSIS

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which of the following lists the phases of the cell cycle in order?
A
Interphase, Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase, Cytokinesis
B
Cytokinesis, Telophase, Anaphase, Metaphase, Prophase, Interphase
C
Interphase, Metaphase, Prophase, Telophase, Anaphase, Cytokinesis
D
Cytokinesis, Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase, Interphase
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -So the correct answer is Option D-Interphase – Prophase – Metaphase – Anaphase – Telophase.

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: -By studying molecular events in cells, scientists have determined that interphase can be divided into 4 steps: Gap 0 (G0), Gap 1 (G1), S (synthesis) phase, Gap 2 (G2).

Detailed explanation-4: -Stages of mitosis: prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase.
