Which two phases of mitosis are out of order?
A
prophase
B
metaphase
C
prometaphase
D
anaphase
E
telophase
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Mitosis consists of four basic phases: prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase.

Detailed explanation-2: -Prometaphase is the second phase of mitosis, the process that separates the duplicated genetic material carried in the nucleus of a parent cell into two identical daughter cells.

Detailed explanation-3: -Flemming divided mitosis into two broad parts: a progressive phase, during which the chromosomes condensed and aligned at the center of the spindle, and a regressive phase, during which the sister chromatids separated.

Detailed explanation-4: -Prometaphase is the phase of mitosis following prophase and preceding metaphase, in eukaryotic somatic cells. In prometaphase, the nuclear membrane breaks apart into numerous “membrane vesicles", and the chromosomes inside form protein structures called kinetochores.

Detailed explanation-5: -Prometaphase is the phase of mitosis following prophase and preceding metaphase. The short version of what happens during prometaphase is that the nuclear membrane breaks down.
