Question

Arrange mitosis in animal cell A. Metaphase B. Prophase C. Anaphase D. Telophase Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

• A. A$\rightarrow$B$\rightarrow$C$\rightarrow$D
• B. C$\rightarrow$D$\rightarrow$B$\rightarrow$A
• C. B$\rightarrow$A$\rightarrow$C$\rightarrow$D
• D. D$\rightarrow$B$\rightarrow$C$\rightarrow$A

Hint:

Shortcut for mitosis sequence: \[ \boxed{ P \rightarrow M \rightarrow A \rightarrow T } \] (Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase)

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Concept: Mitosis is an equational cell division in which one parent cell produces two genetically identical daughter cells. The stages of mitosis occur in a fixed sequence: \[ \text{Prophase} \rightarrow \text{Metaphase} \rightarrow \text{Anaphase} \rightarrow \text{Telophase} \]

Step 1: Understand Prophase. During prophase:
• Chromosomes condense.
• Nuclear membrane starts disappearing.
• Spindle fibers begin forming. Thus: \[ \boxed{B} \] comes first.

Step 2: Understand Metaphase. In metaphase:
• Chromosomes align at equatorial plate. This arrangement ensures equal chromosome distribution. Thus: \[ \boxed{A} \] comes second.

Step 3: Understand Anaphase. In anaphase:
• Sister chromatids separate.
• They move toward opposite poles. Thus: \[ \boxed{C} \] comes third.

Step 4: Understand Telophase. In telophase:
• Nuclear membrane reforms.
• Chromosomes decondense.
• Two daughter nuclei appear. Thus: \[ \boxed{D} \] comes last.

Step 5: Write correct sequence. Therefore: \[ \boxed{ B \rightarrow A \rightarrow C \rightarrow D } \] Hence correct option is: \[ \boxed{(3)} \] Final Conclusion: The stages of mitosis proceed in the order: \[ \boxed{ \text{Prophase} \rightarrow \text{Metaphase} \rightarrow \text{Anaphase} \rightarrow \text{Telophase} } \]
