CELL DIVISION

THE CELL CYCLE

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The cytoplasm is divided between the cells splitting the cell into two. Name that Stage!
A
Cytokinesis
B
Interphase
C
Prophase
D
Metaphase
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -M phase. During the mitotic (M) phase, the cell divides its copied DNA and cytoplasm to make two new cells. M phase involves two distinct division-related processes: mitosis and cytokinesis.

Detailed explanation-2: -Thus, cytokinesis can be considered to occur in four stages-initiation, contraction, membrane insertion, and completion. The central problem for a cell undergoing cytokinesis is to ensure that it occurs at the right time and in the right place.

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 (/ˌsaɪtoʊkɪˈniːsɪs/) is the part of the cell division process during which the cytoplasm of a single eukaryotic cell divides into two daughter cells. Cytoplasmic division begins during or after the late stages of nuclear division in mitosis and meiosis.

Detailed explanation-5: -The cytokinesis is of two types, one that occurs in the plant cell is cell plate formation and the other in the animal cell is embryonic cleavage. During the cell division, in plant cells, a new cell wall is formed to separate their daughter cells.
