Metaphase is followed by the next phase of mitosis called
A
Anaphase
B
Prophase
C
Interphase
D
Anaphase
Correct Answer: Anaphase
These phases occur in strict sequential order, and cytokinesis - the process of dividing the cell contents to make two new cells - starts in anaphase or telophase. Stages of mitosis: prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase. Cytokinesis typically overlaps with anaphase and/or telophase.
