What is the correct order of the stages of the cell cycle?

  1. Interphase, Mitosis, Prophase, Telophase, Cytokinesis

  2. Interphase, Prophase, Mitosis, Cytokinesis, Telophase

  3. Interphase, Prophase, Telophase, Mitosis, Cytokinesis

  4. Prophase, Interphase, Mitosis, Telophase, Cytokinesis

The correct answer is: Interphase, Prophase, Mitosis, Cytokinesis, Telophase

The cell cycle has several stages that occur in a specific order Interphase, Mitosis, and finally, Cytokinesis occurs after Mitosis. In addition, Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, and Telophase are all stages of Mitosis that occur in that order. Option A is incorrect because it has the stages of Mitosis out of order. Option C is incorrect because it has the stages of Mitosis and Cytokinesis out of order. Option D is incorrect because it has the stages of Interphase and Prophase out of order. Therefore, B is the only option that correctly lists the three stages of the cell cycle in the correct order.
