CELL DIVISION AND CANCEROUS CELLS

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The division of the cytoplasm is called cytokinesis. When does cytokinesis occur?
A
After the synthesis phase
B
After interphase
C
After telophase
D
After anaphase
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 performs an essential process to separate the cell in half and ensure that one nucleus ends up in each daughter cell. Cytokinesis starts during the nuclear division phase called anaphase and continues through telophase.

Detailed explanation-3: -Along with telophase, the cell undergoes a process called cytokinesis that divides the cytoplasm of the parental cell into two daughter cells. Further Exploration.

Detailed explanation-4: -This occurs shortly after the onset of anaphase (in mitosis and in meiosis I and II). During telophase (in mitosis and meiosis I and II), cell division continues until the cell has fully divided. After cytokinesis, mitosis and meiosis II resume. In each of the two cells, a new and complete nucleus has developed.

Detailed explanation-5: -Cytokinesis begins in anaphase in animal cells and prophase in plant cells, and terminates in telophase in both, to form the two daughter cells produced by mitosis.
