What is the mnemonic used for mitosis stages?

• A. Please Make Another Two
• B. Only Postpone My Important Task
• C. Make It Two Next
• D. Prepare To Move Inside

Answer: (A)

Memorizing the stages of mitosis is often done with a simple cue that uses the initials of the stage names: Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, and Telophase. The phrase “Please Make Another Two” gives you P, M, A, T in that exact order, so it serves as a quick way to recall the sequence of mitosis. This is why it’s the best choice: it directly encodes the four major stages in the correct order. After telophase, cytokinesis typically follows to split the cytoplasm, which some curricula treat as its own step or as part of telophase, but the core four stages are captured by this mnemonic. The other phrases don’t align with the standard initial letters for these mitotic stages, so they don't reliably cue the correct sequence.
