The correct sequence of mitotic phases is:

Answer: PMAT.

  • A PMAT
  • B PMTA
  • C TAPME
  • D TPAM

Correct answer: A. PMAT

Explanation: PMAT: Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase. A helpful mnemonic for the stages of mitosis.

The Cell CycleG1SG2M (Mitosis)G1+S+G2 = Interphase (the longest part of the cycle, where the cell spends most of its time)

The cell cycle: G1 (growth and preparation), S (DNA replication, chromosome number stays 2n but DNA content doubles), G2 (final checks before division), and M (mitosis itself) - together, G1+S+G2 make up interphase.

Concept context

Mitosis and meiosis: how cells divide for growth, repair, and reproduction.
