Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
____ is the division of the cytoplasm to make two new cells.
A
optokinesis
B
metokinesis
C
cytokinesis
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -Along with telophase, the cell undergoes a separate process called cytokinesis that divides the cytoplasm of the parental cell into two daughter cells.

Detailed explanation-3: -The division of cytoplasm is termed as cytokinesis. It happens in the final stage of mitosis which is a form of asexual cellular division. Mitosis has four different stages known as prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase.

Detailed explanation-4: -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.

Detailed explanation-5: -Prokaryotes reproduce principally by binary fission, in which the mother cell enlarges until it divides into two identical daughter cells, with cytokinesis representing the physical division into the two daughter cells.
