Question

which of the following represents the correct order of the phases of mitosis?
multiple choice
metaphase -> prophase -> anaphase -> telophase
prophase -> anaphase -> metaphase -> telophase
metaphase -> prophase -> telophase -> anaphase
prophase -> metaphase -> telophase -> anaphase
prophase -> metaphase -> anaphase -> telophase

Explanation:

Mitosis is a process of cell division. The correct order of its phases is prophase (chromosomes condense), metaphase (chromosomes align at the equator), anaphase (sister chromatids separate), and telophase (new nuclear envelopes form).

Answer:

prophase -> metaphase -> anaphase -> telophase
