Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
During which phase does the cytoplasm divide into two identical cells?
A
mitosis
B
metaphase
C
interphase
D
cytokinesis
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Telophase is the fifth and final phase of mitosis, the process that separates the duplicated genetic material carried in the nucleus of a parent cell into two identical daughter cells.

Detailed explanation-2: -M phase. During the mitotic (M) phase, the cell divides its copied DNA and cytoplasm to make two new cells.

Detailed explanation-3: -Cytokinesis starts during the nuclear division phase called anaphase and continues through telophase.

Detailed explanation-4: -Thus, cytokinesis can be considered to occur in four stages-initiation, contraction, membrane insertion, and completion. The central problem for a cell undergoing cytokinesis is to ensure that it occurs at the right time and in the right place.

Detailed explanation-5: -The cell then splits to form two genetically identical daughter cells, in a process known as cytokinesis. The end of cytokinesis denotes the end of telophase.
