Identify correct order of mitosis phases

Mitosis consists of four sequential stages: prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase (PMAT).

• Prophase: Chromatin condenses into visible chromosomes.
• Metaphase: Chromosomes align along the cell equator.
• Anaphase: Sister chromatids are pulled to opposite poles.
• Telophase: Nuclear envelopes reform around the separated chromosomes.

Thus, the correct order is Prophase - Metaphase - Anaphase - Telophase.

Identify which entity does not undergo cell division

Cell division is a biological process occurring in living cellular organisms.

• Broccoli cells (eukaryotic plant cells) undergo cell division (mitosis).
• Bacterial cells (prokaryotic cells) undergo cell division (binary fission).
• Skin cells (eukaryotic animal cells) undergo cell division (mitosis).
• Viruses are non-cellular, obligate intracellular entities that lack cellular structure and metabolic machinery; they replicate by hijacking a host cell rather than dividing.

Thus, viruses do not undergo cell division.
