Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Cytokinesis allows cells to ____
A
Divide their nucleus
B
Replicate their nucleus
C
Divide their cytoplasm
D
Replicate their cytoplasm
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Cytokinesis is the physical process of cell division, which divides the cytoplasm of a parental cell into two daughter cells. It occurs concurrently with two types of nuclear division called mitosis and meiosis, which occur in animal cells.

Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -Cytokinesis (/ˌsaɪtoʊkɪˈniːsɪs/) is the part of the cell division process during which the cytoplasm of a single eukaryotic cell divides into two daughter cells. Cytoplasmic division begins during or after the late stages of nuclear division in mitosis and meiosis.

Detailed explanation-4: -In general, the goal of cytokinesis is common in all organisms: to physically separate a mother cell into two daughter cells.

Detailed explanation-5: -The chromosomes begin to uncoil, which makes them diffuse and less compact. Along with telophase, the cell undergoes a process called cytokinesis that divides the cytoplasm of the parental cell into two daughter cells.
