CELL DIVISION AND CANCEROUS CELLS

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The process by which the cytoplasm of a eukaryotic cell divides to produce two cells is called
A
mitosis
B
cytokinesis
C
binary fission
D
telophase
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Mitosis is a process of nuclear division in eukaryotic cells that occurs when a parent cell divides to produce two identical daughter cells.

Detailed explanation-2: -Cytokinesis is the physical process of cell division, which divides the cytoplasm of a parental cell into two daughter cells. It occurs concurrently with two types of nuclear division called mitosis and meiosis, which occur in animal cells.

Detailed explanation-3: -The process in which the nucleus of a eukaryotic cell divides is called mitosis. During mitosis, the two sister chromatids that make up each chromosome separate from each other and move to opposite poles of the cell. Mitosis occurs in four phases. The phases are called prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase.

Detailed explanation-4: -The cytokinesis is of two types, one that occurs in the plant cell is cell plate formation and the other in the animal cell is embryonic cleavage. During the cell division, in plant cells, a new cell wall is formed to separate their daughter cells.

Detailed explanation-5: -Cytokinesis is a universal cellular process in which a cell divides into two. After the mitotic spindle segregates the chromosomes, cytokinesis commences, leading to a dramatic reorganization of the plasma membrane to produce two daughter cells.
