Question

Which of the following is the longest phase in mitosis?

A.

Anaphase

B.

Metaphase

C.

Prophase

D.

Telophase

Correct option is C

The correct answer is: (C) Prophase
Explanation:
Prophase is the longest phase of mitosis, during which the chromatin condenses into visible chromosomes, the nucleolus disappears, the nuclear envelope begins to disintegrate, and the mitotic spindle starts to form.
Information Booster:
  • Mitosis has four main phases: Prophase → Metaphase → Anaphase → Telophase

  • In prophase:

    • Chromosomes condense and become visible.

    • Centrosomes move to opposite poles.

    • Spindle fibers begin to form.

Knowledge Booster :
  • Anaphase: It is the shortest phase of mitosis. During this phase, sister chromatids are pulled apart to opposite poles of the cell.

  • Metaphase: Chromosomes align at the equator (metaphase plate), and spindle fibers attach to the centromeres.

  • Telophase: Final stage where nuclear membranes re-form around the chromosomes, and chromosomes begin to de-condense.
