What part of the cell cycle results in the splitting of the cytoplasm
A
Interphase
B
Mitosis
C
Metaphase
D
Cytokinesis
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Mitosis is the process in which a eukaryotic cell nucleus splits in two, followed by division of the parent cell into two daughter cells.

Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -Cytokinesis occurs in mammalian cell division when a contractile ring of microfilaments generates a cleavage furrow that pinches the cell membrane in two. A cell plate is built in plant cells to divide the cell in half.
