Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What is happening during cytokinesis?
A
Spindle fibers form and the nuclear membrane dissolves
B
Nuclear membrane reforms and you have two nuclei
C
The cytoplasm divides, finishing mitosis
D
Chromosomes move to the center of the cell
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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.

Detailed explanation-2: -During cytokinesis, the cytoplasm splits in two and the cell divides. The process is different in plant and animal cells, as you can see in Figure 7.3. 8. In animal cells, the plasma membrane of the parent cell pinches inward along the cell’s equator until two daughter cells form.

Detailed explanation-3: -Cytokinesis is the physical process that finally splits the parent cell into two identical daughter cells. During cytokinesis, the cell membrane pinches in at the cell equator, forming a cleft called the cleavage furrow.

Detailed explanation-4: -Mitosis ends with telophase, or the stage at which the chromosomes reach the poles. The nuclear membrane then reforms, and the chromosomes begin to decondense into their interphase conformations. Telophase is followed by cytokinesis, or the division of the cytoplasm into two daughter cells.

Detailed explanation-5: -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.
