Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What process involves the division of cell cytoplasm?
A
Meiosis I
B
Meiosis II
C
Cytokinesis
D
Karyokinesis
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Cell division ends as the cytoplasm divides into two by the process of cytokinesis. Except for plants, cytokinesis in eucaryotic cells is mediated by a contractile ring, which is composed of actin and myosin filaments and a variety of other proteins.

Detailed explanation-2: -Mitosis is the process of nuclear division, which occurs just prior to cell division, or cytokinesis. During this multistep process, cell chromosomes condense and the spindle assembles.

Detailed explanation-3: -During cytokinesis, the cytoplasm splits in two and the cell divides. The process is different in plant and animal cells, as you can see in Figure 7.3. 8. In animal cells, the plasma membrane of the parent cell pinches inward along the cell’s equator until two daughter cells form.
