MITOSIS AND MEIOSIS

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Cytokinesis is a process that occurs during the cell cycle. During cytokinesis,
A
the cytoplasm is divided to form two separate cells.
B
the cell grows and performs normal life processes.
C
the chromosomes of the cell are duplicated.
D
the nuclear material of the cell is divided.
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: -Cell division ends as the cytoplasm divides into two by the process of cytokinesis. Except for plants, cytokinesis in eucaryotic cells is mediated by a contractile ring, which is composed of actin and myosin filaments and a variety of other proteins.

Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -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.

Detailed explanation-5: -Cytokinesis is the final stage of cell division in eukaryotes as well as prokaryotes. During cytokinesis, the cytoplasm splits in two and the cell divides.
