Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
In eukaryotic cell division, the process of cytoplasmic division is called ____
A
cytokinesis
B
cytomeiosis
C
cytoplasmosis
D
cytomitosis
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -Eukaryotes divide by two steps: mitosis and cytokinesis. The two daughter cells that result are genetically identical to each other and to the parent cells.

Detailed explanation-3: -Cytokinesis is the physical process of cell division, which divides the cytoplasm of a parental cell into two daughter cells.

Detailed explanation-4: -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-5: -Cytokinesis is the process of cell division where the cytoplasm of a parental cell divides into two daughter cells.
