Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
During what stage of mitosis does cytokinesis also occur?
A
Interphase
B
Prophase
C
Anaphase
D
Telophase
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Cytokinesis starts during the nuclear division phase called anaphase and continues through telophase.

Detailed explanation-2: -Cytokinesis begins in anaphase and ends in telophase, reaching completion as the next interphase begins. The first visible change of cytokinesis in an animal cell is the sudden appearance of a pucker, or cleavage furrow, on the cell surface.

Detailed explanation-3: -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.

Detailed explanation-4: -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.

Detailed explanation-5: -The difference between cytokinesis and telophase is that cytokinesis is the final step of cell division while telophase is the final step of karyokinesis. Note: Cytokinesis and telophase are steps of cell division. The similarity between both these steps are, 1)Both of them occur in meiosis and mitosis as well.
