To arrange the stages of mitosis in sequential order, we need to identify the stages typically involved in mitosis:

  1. Prophase - Chromatin condenses into chromosomes, and the nuclear envelope begins to break down.
  2. Metaphase - Chromosomes align in the center of the cell.
  3. Anaphase - Chromatids are pulled apart to opposite ends of the cell.
  4. Telophase - Chromatids reach the poles, and the nuclear envelope reforms.
  5. Cytokinesis - The cytoplasm divides, resulting in two daughter cells.

Without specific definitions for diagrams A, B, C, D, and E, I can't directly identify what each corresponds to. However, here's the general order of mitosis based on the stages mentioned above:

  1. Prophase (A or B or C or D)
  2. Metaphase (A or B or C or D)
  3. Anaphase (A or B or C or D)
  4. Telophase (A or B or C or D)
  5. Cytokinesis (A or B or C or D)

If you provide what each labeled diagram (A, B, C, D, E) corresponds to in terms of the stages, I can help determine the correct sequence based on that information.
