Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
After which phase of mitosis does cytokinesis begin?
A
prophase
B
metaphase
C
anaphase
D
telophase
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 starts during the nuclear division phase called anaphase and continues through telophase.

Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -Telophase is the fifth and final phase of mitosis, the process that separates the duplicated genetic material carried in the nucleus of a parent cell into two identical daughter cells. Telophase begins once the replicated, paired chromosomes have been separated and pulled to opposite sides, or poles, of the cell.

Detailed explanation-5: -In Meiosis I, cytokinesis usually occurs after telophase I and produces: a) Four diploid cells.
