Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
When does cytokinesis take place?
A
After mitosis
B
Right after telophase
C
Before prophase
D
Before mitosis
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: -Telophase and Cytokinesis 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-4: -Mitosis ends with telophase, during which nuclei re-form and the chromosomes decondense. Cytokinesis usually begins during late anaphase and is almost complete by the end of telophase, resulting in the formation of two interphase daughter cells.

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.
