Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Cytokinesis occurs at the same time as or immediately following ____
A
telophase
B
anaphase
C
prophase
D
metaphase
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Cytokinesis begins in anaphase and ends in telophase, reaching completion as the next interphase begins. The first visible change of cytokinesis in an animal cell is the sudden appearance of a pucker, or cleavage furrow, on the cell surface.

Detailed explanation-2: -Cytokinesis usually occurs at the same time as telophase I, forming two haploid daughter cells.

Detailed explanation-3: -M phase. During the mitotic (M) phase, the cell divides its copied DNA and cytoplasm to make two new cells. M phase involves two distinct division-related processes: mitosis and cytokinesis.

Detailed explanation-4: -Failure of cytokinesis after telophase stage of cell division result in an increase in a whole set of chromosomes in an organism and this phenomenon known as polyploidy is often seen in. No worries!

Detailed explanation-5: -Telophase and Cytokinesis The nuclear membrane then reforms, and the chromosomes begin to decondense into their interphase conformations. Telophase is followed by cytokinesis, or the division of the cytoplasm into two daughter cells. The daughter cells that result from this process have identical genetic compositions.
