MITOSIS AND MEIOSIS

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which of the following is NOT correct?
A
Cytokinesis isn’t a part of mitosis
B
Mitosis makes 2 identical daughter cells
C
Cytokinesis is a part of mitosis
D
Chromosomes are split into chromatids
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Reason: Tapetal cells undergo mitosis which generally involves division of nucleus but cytokinesis does not happen.

Detailed explanation-2: -Cytokinesis is the final physical cell division that follows telophase, and is therefore sometimes considered a sixth phase of mitosis. All phases of mitosis, as well as the flanking periods of interphase and cytokinesis before and after, are shown in Figure 8.

Detailed explanation-3: -Interphase is not a phase of mitosis.

Detailed explanation-4: -Answer and Explanation: Mitosis goes through cytokinesis once and meiosis goes through cytokinesis twice. This statement is true.

Detailed explanation-5: -A single nucleus gives rise to two identical daughter nuclei. Incorrect. In mitosis, identical copies of the chromosomes are produced and placed in each of the daughter cells.
