Question: what is the correct order of the stages of mitosis 1-metaphase 2-telophase 3-anaphase 4-prophase?
Answer: In order to accomplish this goal, mitosis occurs in four discrete, consistently consecutive phases: 1) prophase, 2) metaphase, 3) anaphase, and 4) telophase. We also have an in-depth post on mitosis here, so you can think of this as an intro to what mitosis is and how it works!
