Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
In which part of the cell cycle does the cytoplasm divide?
A
Interphase
B
Nuclear Division
C
Cytokinesis
D
S-Phase
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -Cytokinesis starts during the nuclear division phase called anaphase and continues through telophase.

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: -Cytokinesis, the division of the cytoplasm to form two new cells, overlaps with the final stages of mitosis. It may start in either anaphase or telophase, depending on the cell, and finishes shortly after telophase.
