____ is defined as division of the cytoplasm.
A
cell cycle
B
interphase
C
mitosis
D
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: -The cell cycle culminates in the division of the cytoplasm by cytokinesis.

Detailed explanation-3: -Cytokinesis is the process whereby the cytoplasm of a parent cell is divided between two daughter cells produced either via mitosis or meiosis. This is also often known as cytoplasmic division or cell cleavage.

Detailed explanation-4: -Cytokinesis is generally defined as the division of the cytoplasm during the M phase of the cell cycle. It is the 2nd step in the M phase. This process also cannot occur without karyokinesis. It is generally the final stage of mitosis, whereby cytoplasm & other cell organelles divide between the two daughter cells.
