Question

What is the correct order of events in mitosis?
A) anaphase, metaphase, prophase, telophase
B) anaphase, prophase, metaphase, telophase
C) metaphase, prophase, telophase, anaphase
D) prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase

Accepted Answer

Prophase is the first stage of mitosis where chromosomes condense and spindle fibers start to form. Metaphase is the second stage where chromosomes align at the center of the cell. Anaphase is the third stage where sister chromatids separate and move to opposite poles. Telophase is the final stage where the chromosomes reach the poles and the nuclear envelope reforms.
