CELL DIVISION AND CANCEROUS CELLS

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What part of cell division does this happen? The cell divides in half. The cytoplasm divides and the cell “pinches” into two nearly equal parts.
A
telophase
B
anaphase
C
cytokinesis
D
metaphase
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Mitosis takes place in four stages: prophase (sometimes divided into early prophase and prometaphase), metaphase, anaphase, and telophase. You can learn more about these stages in the video on mitosis. In cytokinesis, the cytoplasm of the cell is split in two, making two new 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: -Cytokinesis is the final stage of cell division in eukaryotes as well as prokaryotes. During cytokinesis, the cytoplasm splits in two and the cell divides.

Detailed explanation-4: -Cytokinesis. 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: -Along with telophase, the cell undergoes a separate process called cytokinesis that divides the cytoplasm of the parental cell into two daughter cells.
