MEIOSIS

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Name this Phase of Meiosis-Cytoplasm divides, 2 cells are formed.
A
Anaphase 1
B
Anaphase 2
C
Telophase 1
D
Telophase 2
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The process by which the cytoplasm of a cell divides to form two two daughter cells is known as cytokinesis. Thus option A is the correct answer.

Detailed explanation-2: -During telophase I, the chromosomes are enclosed in nuclei. The cell now undergoes a process called cytokinesis that divides the cytoplasm of the original cell into two daughter cells. Each daughter cell is haploid and has only one set of chromosomes, or half the total number of chromosomes of the original cell.

Detailed explanation-3: -Cytokinesis is the physical process of cell division, which divides the cytoplasm of a parental cell into two daughter cells.

Detailed explanation-4: -The last stage of Meiosis I is telophase I. In telophase I, the microtubules break down, the nuclear membrane reforms, and the chromosomes return to an uncondensed state. The cell then divides into two haploid daughter cells by cytokinesis.

Detailed explanation-5: -As the new chromosomes reach the spindle during telophase I, the cytoplasm organizes itself and divides in two.
