Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What takes place during mitosis?
A
Mitosis and cytokinesis
B
Prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase
C
G1 phase, S phase, G2 phase, and M phase
D
G1 phase, S phase, and G2 phase
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -During the four phases of mitosis, nuclear division occurs in order for one cell to split into two.

Detailed explanation-3: -Mitosis is conventionally divided into 5 phases, which include prophase, prometaphase, metaphase, anaphase and telophase and cytokinesis.

Detailed explanation-4: -Mitosis consists of five morphologically distinct phases: prophase, prometaphase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase. Each phase involves characteristic steps in the process of chromosome alignment and separation.

Detailed explanation-5: -During prophase, the complex of DNA and proteins contained in the nucleus, known as chromatin, condenses. The chromatin coils and becomes increasingly compact, resulting in the formation of visible chromosomes.
