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: -In anaphase, the shortest stage of mitosis, the sister chromatids break apart, and the chromosomes begin moving to opposite ends of the cell. By the end of anaphase, the 2 halves of the cell have an equivalent collection of chromosomes. In telophase, 2 daughter nuclei form. The nuclear envelope beings to reappear.

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.
