Question
which of the following is the correct order of mitosis? *
metaphase, telophase, prophase, anaphase
prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase
telophase, anaphase, metaphase, prophase
anaphase, prophase, metaphase, telophase
mitosis does not occur in prokaryotic cells because: *
they do not have chloroplasts
they do not have a nucleus
they do not have cytoplasm
they dont reproduce
First Question (Correct order of Mitosis)
Mitosis is a process of cell division, and its correct stages in order are Prophase (chromosomes condense, nuclear envelope breaks down), Metaphase (chromosomes align at the equator), Anaphase (sister chromatids separate and move to opposite poles), and Telophase (nuclear envelopes reform, chromosomes decondense). So the correct order is Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase.
Prokaryotic cells lack a nucleus (they have a nucleoid region instead). Mitosis is a process that involves the division of the nucleus and its contents. Since prokaryotes don't have a nucleus, they undergo binary fission instead of mitosis. Chloroplasts are not related to mitosis occurrence, prokaryotes do have cytoplasm, and they do reproduce (via binary fission). So the reason is they do not have a nucleus.
