Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which phase of meiosis I is the step before cytokinesis?
A
Prophase I
B
Metphase I
C
Anaphase I
D
Telophase I
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Telophase is followed by cytokinesis, or the division of the cytoplasm into two daughter cells. The daughter cells that result from this process have identical genetic compositions.

Detailed explanation-2: -At the end of interphase comes the mitotic phase, which is made up of mitosis and cytokinesis and leads to the formation of two daughter cells. Mitosis precedes cytokinesis, though the two processes typically overlap somewhat.

Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -Telophase I is that phase when the chromosomes have finished moving to opposite ends of the cell. This will then be followed by cytokinesis producing two daughter cells.

Detailed explanation-5: -In each round of division, cells go through four stages: prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase.
