| 3. | Transition to metaphase | 4. | Early metaphase |
Which of the following options gives the correct sequences of events during mitosis?
| 1. | Condensation → nuclear membrane disassembly → crossing over → Segregation → telophase |
| 2. | Condensation → nuclear membrane disassembly → arrangement at equator → centromere division → Segregation → telophase |
| 3. | Condensation → crossing over → nuclear membrane disassembly → Segregation → telophase |
| 4. | Condensation → arrangement at equator → centromere division → Segregation → telophase |
