Final answer:
The incorrect statement is that cytokinesis is a part of mitosis. While these processes are closely linked and occur sequentially, cytokinesis is not a phase of mitosis but a separate process that divides the cell's cytoplasm. so, option 2 is the correct naswer.
Step-by-step explanation:
The statement from the options provided that is not correct is: Cytokinesis is a part of mitosis. While mitosis and cytokinesis are closely associated in the cell cycle and usually occur together, they are distinct processes. Mitosis is the process of nuclear division, which ensures each resulting cell has the same DNA. Cytokinesis, on the other hand, is the division of the cytoplasm to form two separate daughter cells.
Mitosis produces genetically identical cells as the chromosomes separate equally, ensuring that each new nucleus has the same genetic information. It follows a specific order: prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase. Metaphase occurs before anaphase; this is the correct sequence of mitosis. Contrary to the incorrect statement, all somatic cells are produced by mitosis, which excludes germ cells which undergo meiosis for reproduction.
