Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
When a cell divides after cytokinesis (in Mitosis), what do we call the 2 new cells?
A
parent cells
B
son cells
C
identical daughter cells
D
different daughter cells
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The cell then splits in two by a process called cytokinesis, creating two clones of the original cell, each with 46 monovalent chromosomes.

Detailed explanation-2: -Usually the cell will divide after mitosis in a process called cytokinesis in which the cytoplasm is divided and two daughter cells are formed.

Detailed explanation-3: -Mitosis is a process where a single cell divides into two identical daughter cells (cell division).

Detailed explanation-4: -Cytokinesis is the process whereby the cytoplasm of a parent cell is divided between two daughter cells produced either via mitosis or meiosis. This is also often known as cytoplasmic division or cell cleavage.

Detailed explanation-5: -Cytokinesis is the physical process that finally splits the parent cell into two identical daughter cells. During cytokinesis, the cell membrane pinches in at the cell equator, forming a cleft called the cleavage furrow.
