Question

Which of the following options gives the correct sequence of events during mitosis?

D VINOD · Accepted Answer

## CORE INFORMATION
✓ **Answer**: A
## CONCEPT FRAMEWORK
	**Primary Concept**: Mitosis (Cell Division)
	**Related Topics**: Cell Cycle, Chromosome Replication, Cytokinesis
	**Prerequisites**: Basic understanding of cell biology and the stages of cell division.
## SOLUTION PATHWAY
**Given Information**:
	The question asks for the correct sequence of events in mitosis.
**Method & Steps**:
	1. **Recall the stages of mitosis**: Mitosis is a process of nuclear division that occurs in four sequential phases: Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, and Telophase.  
	Reasoning: These phases represent a highly ordered series of events involving chromosome condensation, alignment, separation, and movement to opposite poles of the cell.
	2. **Match the sequence**: Identify the option that lists these phases in the correct order.
	Key Point: The order is crucial for the accurate duplication and separation of chromosomes.
	3. **Identify the correct option**: 'Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase'
	Result: Option A
	Verification: This sequence reflects the biological progression of mitosis, ensuring each step prepares for the next.
## OPTION ANALYSIS
[A] ✓: 'Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase' - This is the correct order of events during mitosis.
[B] :x: 'Metaphase, Prophase, Anaphase, Telophase' - Incorrect.  Prophase must precede Metaphase.  Chromosomes condense and the spindle apparatus forms during Prophase, preparing for chromosome alignment in Metaphase.
[C] :x: 'Anaphase, Telophase, Prophase, Metaphase' - Incorrect.  Anaphase, where sister chromatids separate, cannot happen before Metaphase, where they align at the metaphase plate.  Also, Prophase initiates mitosis.
[D] :x: 'Telophase, Anaphase, Metaphase, Prophase' - Incorrect.  This is the reverse of the correct sequence. Telophase is the final stage of mitosis, where the nuclear envelope reforms and chromosomes decondense.
## LEARNING AIDS
	**Common Mistakes**:
		1. Confusing the order of Metaphase and Anaphase: Remember, chromosomes align (Metaphase) *before* they separate (Anaphase).
		2. Forgetting the role of Prophase: Prophase sets the stage for mitosis by preparing the chromosomes and the spindle apparatus.
	**Quick Tips**:
		1. Use the mnemonic PMAT (Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase) to remember the order.
		2. Visualize the process: Imagine the chromosomes condensing, aligning, separating, and finally being enclosed in new nuclei to reinforce the sequence.
