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

Detailed explanation-1: -Anaphase is the fourth step in mitosis. In anaphase, cohesin proteins binding the sister chromatids together break down. sister chromatids (now called chromosomes) are pulled toward opposite poles.

Detailed explanation-2: -Anaphase is the fourth 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: -Mitosis consists of four basic phases: prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase. Some textbooks list five, breaking prophase into an early phase (called prophase) and a late phase (called prometaphase).

Detailed explanation-4: -Anaphase in Mitosis Anaphase of cell mitosis is the third phase of the active cell division process. It happens after the prophase and metaphase stages. Sister chromatids are joined at the centromeres; they need to be separated next.

Detailed explanation-5: -4: Prophase in later stage is called prometaphase. The spindle starts to form during the prophase of mitosis. The spindles start to attach to the Kinetochores of centromeres of sister chromatids during Prometaphase. The first and longest phase of mitosis is prophase.
