prophase, anaphase, metaphase, telophase

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: -Prophase – The chromosomes shorten and thicken. Metaphase – Chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell. Anaphase – Chromatids break apart at the centromere and move to opposite poles. Telophase – Two nuclei formed after nuclear envelopes reform around each group of chromosomes.
Detailed explanation-3: -Hence, the correct sequence in terms of chronology is Interphase-> Prophase-> Metaphase-> Anaphase-> Telophase.
