Which sequence of stages in mitosis is correct?

a. prophase, anaphase, prometaphase, metaphase, telophase

b. prophase, telophase, anaphase, prometaphase, metaphase

c. prophase, prometaphase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase

d. telophase, anaphase, prophase, prometaphase, metaphase

e. anaphase, prometaphase, metaphase, prophase, telophase

The correct answer is C. Prophase, prometaphase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase

Explanation:

In biology, mitosis is the process in which a cell divides or duplicates, which leads to two daughter cells that are identical to the original cell. This process occurs in five different stages: the first stage is the prophase that occurs after a preparatory stage and involves the condensation of chromosomes and the division of the nuclear envelope; the second stage is prometaphase and in this the nucleus dissolves and centrioles move; the third phase is the metaphase and during this the chromosomes align; the fourth stage is the anaphase that means the chromosomes divide and the final stage is the telophase in which the cell division occurs. According to this, the option that includes all the stages in order is option C.

Answer: the answer is c
