Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the context of the question: The problem is asking about a biological process that includes the stages prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase.
Recall the definition of mitosis: Mitosis is the process of cell division where a single cell divides to produce two identical daughter cells, and it includes the stages prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase.
Differentiate between the options provided: Cytokinesis is the division of the cytoplasm, which occurs after mitosis. Meiosis II is a part of meiosis, a process that produces gametes, and interphase is the phase where the cell prepares for division but does not include the stages listed.
Match the stages to the correct process: Since prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase are specific to mitosis, the correct answer is mitosis.
Conclude that the stages listed in the problem are part of mitosis, as it is the only process that includes all four stages in the order provided.
