Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
During which phase does the cell actually separate into two individual daughter cells?
A
Prophase
B
Cytokinesis
C
Interphase
D
Metaphase
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Cytokinesis performs an essential process to separate the cell in half and ensure that one nucleus ends up in each daughter cell. Cytokinesis starts during the nuclear division phase called anaphase and continues through telophase.

Detailed explanation-2: -Anaphase is the fourth phase of mitosis, the process that separates the duplicated genetic material carried in the nucleus of a parent cell into two identical daughter cells.

Detailed explanation-3: -The mitotic spindle in animal cells not only separates the daughter chromosomes, it also specifies the location of the contractile ring, and thereby the plane of cell division.
