The correct sequence for the phases of mitosis is:

• A. a) Prophase - prometaphase - anaphase - metaphase – telophase.
• B. b) Prophase - prometaphase - metaphase - anaphase – telophase.
• C. c) Prometaphase - prophase - metaphase - anaphase – telophase.
• D. d) Metaphase - anaphase - interphase - prophase – telophase

Answer: (B)

Verified step by step guidance

1. Understand that mitosis is the process of cell division that results in two genetically identical daughter cells from a single parent cell.
2. Recall the phases of mitosis: Prophase, Prometaphase, Metaphase, Anaphase, and Telophase.
3. In Prophase, the chromatin condenses into visible chromosomes, and the mitotic spindle begins to form.
4. During Prometaphase, the nuclear envelope breaks down, and spindle fibers attach to the kinetochores of the chromosomes.
5. In Metaphase, chromosomes align at the metaphase plate, followed by Anaphase where sister chromatids are pulled apart, and finally Telophase where the cell prepares to divide into two.
