Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What is the division of cytoplasm during the M phase of the cell cycle called?
A
Metaphase
B
Anaphase
C
Telophase
D
Cytokinesis
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Cell division occurs during M phase, which consists of nuclear division (mitosis) followed by cytoplasmic division (cytokinesis). The DNA is replicated in the preceding S phase; the two copies of each replicated chromosome (called sister chromatids) remain glued together by cohesins.

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: -M phase: Cell division, comprising mitosis, when a fully grown cell segregates the replicated chromosomes to opposite ends of a molecular scaffold, termed the spindle, and cytokinesis, when the cell cleaves between the separated chromosomes to produce two daughter cells.

Detailed explanation-4: -Cell division ends with the physical separation of the two daughter cells, a process known as cytokinesis.

Detailed explanation-5: -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.
