Question

What is the correct sequence of steps in the cell cycle?

• A. Karyokinesis, cytokinesis, interphase
• B. Cytokinesis, karyokinesis, interphase
• C. Interphase, karyokinesis, cytokinesis
• D. Interphase, cytokinesis, karyokinesis

Answer 1

The correct option is C Interphase, karyokinesis, cytokinesis

Cell cycle is an orderly sequence of events during which a cell grows, duplicates its genetic material and then undergoes division. The correct sequence of steps in cell cycle is interphase, karyokinesis and cytokinesis.

The cell cycle begins from the interphase. During interphase, the cell makes preparations to divide and in the mitotic phase, the cell divides.
Mitotic phase includes karyokinesis and cytokinesis. Karyokinesis is division of nucleus and cytokinesis is division of cytoplasm.
