CELL DIVISION

THE CELL CYCLE

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The last part of the cell cycle, where the cell finishes dividing into two cells, is called ____ ?
A
prophase
B
cytokinesis
C
interphase
D
duplication
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -Telophase and Cytokinesis Mitosis ends with telophase, or the stage at which the chromosomes reach the poles. The nuclear membrane then reforms, and the chromosomes begin to decondense into their interphase conformations. Telophase is followed by cytokinesis, or the division of the cytoplasm into two daughter cells.

Detailed explanation-3: -Telophase is the fifth and final phase of mitosis, the process that separates the duplicated genetic material carried in the nucleus of a parent cell into two identical daughter cells. Telophase begins once the replicated, paired chromosomes have been separated and pulled to opposite sides, or poles, of the cell.

Detailed explanation-4: -Cell division ends as the cytoplasm divides into two by the process of cytokinesis.

Detailed explanation-5: -Cytokinesis begins in anaphase in animal cells and prophase in plant cells, and terminates in telophase in both, to form the two daughter cells produced by mitosis.
