Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The division of the nucleus is know as what?
A
Synthesis
B
G2 Phase
C
Mitosis
D
G1 Phase
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Division of the nucleus during cell division is called karyokinesis and is followed by Cytokinesis, the division of the cell cytoplasm. Metakinesis is the separation of sister chromatids and their movement to opposite poles during anaphase stage of mitosis.

Detailed explanation-2: -Mitosis is a process of nuclear division in eukaryotic cells that occurs when a parent cell divides to produce two identical daughter cells. During cell division, mitosis refers specifically to the separation of the duplicated genetic material carried in the nucleus.

Detailed explanation-3: -Division of the nucleus during cell division is called karyokinesis and is followed by cytokinesis which is the division of the cell cytoplasm. Both karyokinesis and cytokinesis are parts of the cell cycle. Karyokinesis occurs in all four stages-prophase, metaphase, anaphase and telophase.

Detailed explanation-4: -Mitosis is the process of cell division wherein the chromosomes replicate and get equally distributed into two daughter cells. The chromosome number in each daughter cell is equal to that in the parent cell, i.e., diploid. Hence, mitosis is known as equational division.

Detailed explanation-5: -Mitosis is the tightly regulated process of cell division that includes both nuclear division (karyokinesis) and the division of cytoplasm to two daughter cells (cytokinesis). This process can be divided into distinct phases including prophase, prometaphase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase, and finally, cytokinesis.
