Question

Arrange the following stages of cell division in the correct order

-Cytokinesis

-Metaphase

-Prophase

-Telophase

-Interphase ( G1, S G2)

-Anaphase

Answer 1

The correct order of the stages of cell division is as follows:

1. **Interphase (G1, S, G2)** - This is the phase where the cell prepares for division, including DNA replication.
2. **Prophase** - The chromatin condenses into visible chromosomes, the nuclear envelope begins to break down, and the spindle apparatus forms.
3. **Metaphase** - The chromosomes align at the cell's equatorial plate.
4. **Anaphase** - The sister chromatids are pulled apart to opposite poles of the cell.
5. **Telophase** - The separated chromatids reach the poles, the nuclear envelope reforms around each set of chromosomes, and the chromosomes begin to de-condense.
6. **Cytokinesis** - The cytoplasm divides, resulting in two separate daughter cells.

So, the final order is:

1. Interphase (G1, S, G2)
2. Prophase
3. Metaphase
4. Anaphase
5. Telophase
6. Cytokinesis
