Solution
The correct option is B Prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase
Mitosis is a type of cell division in which a parent cell divides and forms two daughter cells that are identical to the parent cell. They carry the same number of chromosomes and the same types of chromosome as the parent cell. Mitosis involves karyokinesis or the division of the nucleus followed by cytokinesis or the division of the cytoplasm.
Karyokinesis involves four phases. They are prophase, metaphase, anaphase and telophase.
Hence, the correct sequence would be prophase, metaphase, anaphase and telophase.
Prophase - Chromatin condensation forming chromosomes.
Metaphase - Chromosomes align in the centre of the cell.
Anaphase - Sister chromatids separate and move to opposite poles.
Telophase - Two nuclei are formed, chromosomes decondense to form chromatin.
