Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
“Cyto” in cytokinesis means ____
A
Cell
B
Breaking
C
Lipid
D
Two
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Cytokinesis is the cell cycle stage in which the cell must split its chromosomes and cytoplasm, producing two daughter cells. Cytokinesis is the division of the cytoplasm. The cytoplasm of the cell is being divided in order to obtain two new daughter cells. How does cytokinesis occur?

Detailed explanation-2: -Cytokinesis occurs by a special mechanism in higher-plant cells-in which the cytoplasm is partitioned by the construction of a new cell wall, the cell plate, inside the cell. The position of the cell plate is determined by the position of a preprophase band of microtubules and actin filaments.

Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -Cytokinesis is the physical process that finally splits the parent cell into two identical daughter cells. During cytokinesis, the cell membrane pinches in at the cell equator, forming a cleft called the cleavage furrow.

Detailed explanation-5: -cytokinesis, in biology, the process by which one cell physically divides into two cells.
