Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
When does the cytoplasm divide during cell division?
A
cytokinesis
B
prophase
C
telophase
D
interphase
Explanation: 

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

Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -During interphase, the cell grows and makes a copy of its DNA. During the mitotic (M) phase, the cell separates its DNA into two sets and divides its cytoplasm, forming two new cells.

Detailed explanation-4: -Along with telophase, the cell undergoes a process called cytokinesis that divides the cytoplasm of the parental cell into two daughter cells.

Detailed explanation-5: -The cytoplasm (the liquid core of the cell that holds the organelles in place) breaks into two equal halves during cytokinesis, and the cell divides into two daughter cells. This occurs shortly after the onset of anaphase (in mitosis and in meiosis I and II).
