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. The mitotic phase is a relatively short period of the cell cycle.
Detailed explanation-2: -The cell cycle is a four-stage process in which the cell increases in size (gap 1, or G1, stage), copies its DNA (synthesis, or S, stage), prepares to divide (gap 2, or G2, stage), and divides (mitosis, or M, stage).
Detailed explanation-3: -In eukaryotes, the cell cycle consists of four discrete phases: G1, S, G2, and M. The S or synthesis phase is when DNA replication occurs, and the M or mitosis phase is when the cell actually divides. The other two phases-G1 and G2, the so-called gap phases-are less dramatic but equally important.
Detailed explanation-4: -The correct order of the phases of the M phase is Prophase → Metaphase → Anaphase → Telophase→ Cytokinesis.
