CELL DIVISION

THE CELL CYCLE

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Mitosis is the stage of the cell cycle during which
A
the cell’s nucleus divides into two new nuclei
B
the cell’s DNA is replicated
C
the cell divides into two new cells
D
the cell’s cytoplasm divides
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Finally, once anaphase is complete, the cell enters the last stage of the division process-telophase. During telophase, the newly separated chromosomes reach the mitotic spindle and a nuclear membrane forms around each set of chromosomes, thus creating two separate nuclei inside the same cell.

Detailed explanation-2: -During the mitotic phase, a cell will undergo mitosis to form two new nuclei and then divide to form two new individual cells during cytokinesis. Mitosis is the process of dividing the duplicated DNA of a cell into two new nuclei.

Detailed explanation-3: -Mitosis is the process in which a eukaryotic cell nucleus splits in two, followed by division of the parent cell into two daughter cells. The word “mitosis” means “threads, ” and it refers to the threadlike appearance of chromosomes as the cell prepares to divide.

Detailed explanation-4: -During the mitotic (M) phase, the cell separates its DNA into two sets and divides its cytoplasm, forming two new cells.

Detailed explanation-5: -These phases occur in strict sequential order, and cytokinesis-the process of dividing the cell contents to make two new cells-starts in anaphase or telophase. Stages of mitosis: prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase.
