CELL DIVISION AND CANCEROUS CELLS

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
In what stage does the cytoplasm divide?
A
Interphase
B
Prophase
C
Metaphase
D
Cytokinesis
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Cytokinesis starts during the nuclear division phase called anaphase and continues through telophase. A ring of protein filaments called the contractile ring forms around the equator of the cell just beneath the plasma membrane.

Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -Cytokinesis is the process whereby the cytoplasm of a parent cell is divided between two daughter cells produced either via mitosis or meiosis. This is also often known as cytoplasmic division or cell cleavage.

Detailed explanation-4: -The third stage of the cell cycle is called cytokinesis. During this stage, the cytoplasm of the cell divides to form two cells. These two cells are called daughter cells. The new daughter cells are exactly the same as each other.
