Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
When the cytoplasm is dividing, a cell is in ____
A
Interphase
B
Prophase
C
Anaphase
D
Cytokinesis
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Cell division ends with the physical separation of the two daughter cells, a process known as cytokinesis. This final event ensures that nuclear and cytoplasmic contents are accurately partitioned between the two nascent cells.

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: -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: -In cytokinesis, the cytoplasm of the cell is split in two, making two new cells. Cytokinesis usually begins just as mitosis is ending, with a little overlap. Importantly, cytokinesis takes place differently in animal and plant cells. Cytokinesis in animal and plant 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).
