Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which of the following is NOT a part of mitosis?
A
prophase
B
anaphase
C
metaphase
D
interphase
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Interphase is not a phase of mitosis. It is a phase prior to mitosis during which the cell does not divide but makes preparations to divide.

Detailed explanation-2: -Final answer: M-phase is not a part of interphase.

Detailed explanation-3: -Interphase is composed of G1 phase (cell growth), followed by S phase (DNA synthesis), followed by G2 phase (cell growth). At the end of interphase comes the mitotic phase, which is made up of mitosis and cytokinesis and leads to the formation of two daughter cells.

Detailed explanation-4: -Solution : interphase in a cell cycle has three stages ā€˜-G (1), Sā€˜ and ā€˜G (2)ā€˜ M-phase is not a part of interphase.

Detailed explanation-5: -Interphase is often included in discussions of mitosis, but interphase is technically not part of mitosis, but rather encompasses stages G1, S, and G2 of the cell cycle. The cell is engaged in metabolic activity and performing its prepare for mitosis (the next four phases that lead up to and include nuclear division).
