MITOSIS AND MEIOSIS

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which phase is not a phase of MITOSIS (when the nucleus divides)?
A
Interphase
B
Prophase
C
Metaphase
D
Anaphase
E
Telophase
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Interphase is not a phase of mitosis. It is a phase prior to mitosis during which the cell does not divide but makes preparations to divide.

Detailed explanation-2: -Interphase is not part of mitosis. However, both processes are part of the larger cell cycle, where interphase consists of the G 1start subscript, 1, end subscript, S, and G 2start subscript, 2, end subscript stages of the cell cycle.

Detailed explanation-3: -Interphase in a cell cycle has three stages-G1, S and G2. M-phase is not a part of interphase.

Detailed explanation-4: -Interphase, the stage of the cell cycle when the cell, preparing to divide, is divided into the G1, S, and G2 stages. The nucleus divides during mitosis, and the cytoplasm divides during cytokinesis.

Detailed explanation-5: -These phases are prophase, prometaphase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase.
