Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which phase of mitosis occurs fifth?
A
Prophase
B
Prometaphase
C
Metaphase
D
Anaphase
E
Telophase
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Mitosis is conventionally divided into 5 phases, which include prophase, prometaphase, metaphase, anaphase and telophase and cytokinesis.

Detailed explanation-2: -Telophase is the fifth and final phase of mitosis, the process that separates the duplicated genetic material carried in the nucleus of a parent cell into two identical daughter cells. Telophase begins once the replicated, paired chromosomes have been separated and pulled to opposite sides, or poles, of the cell.

Detailed explanation-3: -Mitosis ends with telophase, or the stage at which the chromosomes reach the poles. The nuclear membrane then reforms, and the chromosomes begin to decondense into their interphase conformations. Telophase is followed by cytokinesis, or the division of the cytoplasm into two daughter cells.

Detailed explanation-4: -Anaphase-The third stage in which the chromatids move to opposite poles by splitting centromere. Telophase-The fourth stage in which the nuclear envelope assembles around the chromosome clusters.

Detailed explanation-5: -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.
