CELL DIVISION AND CANCEROUS CELLS

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Cell pinches into two.
A
Telophase
B
Cytokinesis
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Cytokinesis is the physical process that finally splits the parent cell into two identical daughter cells. During cytokinesis, the cell membrane pinches in at the cell equator, forming a cleft called the cleavage furrow.

Detailed explanation-2: -In animals, cell division occurs when a band of cytoskeletal fibers called the contractile ring contracts inward and pinches the cell in two, a process called contractile cytokinesis. The indentation produced as the ring contracts inward is called the cleavage furrow.

Detailed explanation-3: -Cell division ends as the cytoplasm divides into two by the process of cytokinesis. Except for plants, cytokinesis in eucaryotic cells is mediated by a contractile ring, which is composed of actin and myosin filaments and a variety of other proteins.

Detailed explanation-4: -Cytokinesis is the final stage in the cell cycle. The cytoplasm pinches in half and separates the nuclei into two daughter cells.

Detailed explanation-5: -Cytokinesis. Cytokinesis is the second part of the mitotic phase during which cell division is completed by the physical separation of the cytoplasmic components into two daughter cells.
