CELL DIVISION AND CANCEROUS CELLS

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
This phase is when the cytoplasm fully separates, creating 2 separate cells. What is this phase?
A
Endocytosis
B
Exocytosis
C
Cytokinesis
D
Metaphase
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Mitosis ends with telophase, or the stage at which the chromosomes reach the poles. The nuclear membrane then reforms, and the chromosomes begin to decondense into their interphase conformations. Telophase is followed by cytokinesis, or the division of the cytoplasm into two daughter cells.

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: -Thus, cytokinesis can be considered to occur in four stages-initiation, contraction, membrane insertion, and completion. The central problem for a cell undergoing cytokinesis is to ensure that it occurs at the right time and in the right place.

Detailed explanation-4: -Cytokinesis is the second part of the mitotic phase during which cell division is completed by the physical separation of the cytoplasmic components into two daughter cells.

Detailed explanation-5: -Mitosis is a process of nuclear division in eukaryotic cells that occurs when a parent cell divides to produce two identical daughter cells.
