MITOSIS AND MEIOSIS

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which provides the accurate order of the cell cycle process?
A
prophase, anaphase, metaphase, telophase, cytokinesis
B
Interphase, prophase, anaphase, metaphase, telophase, cytokinesis
C
prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase
D
interphase, prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase, cytokinesis
Explanation: 

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

Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -Hence, the correct sequence in terms of chronology is Interphase-> Prophase-> Metaphase-> Anaphase-> Telophase.

Detailed explanation-4: -The correct order of mitotic phases is (C): Prophase-metaphase-anaphase-telophase.
