Cytokinesis is the creation of two identical cells called ____
A
children cells
B
new cells
C
daughter cells
D
son cells
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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-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: -The entirety of mitosis up until this point is known as karyokinesis, which refers to the splitting of the nuclear material into genetically identical diploid sets. The cell then splits to form two genetically identical daughter cells, in a process known as cytokinesis.

Detailed explanation-4: -After these rapid nuclear divisions, cells are created around each nucleus in one round of coordinated cytokinesis called cellularization. Contractile rings form at the cell surface, and the plasma membrane extends inward and pinches off to enclose each nucleus.

Detailed explanation-5: -The daughter cells from mitosis are called diploid cells. Diploid cells have two complete sets of chromosomes. Since the daughter cells have exact copies of their parent cell’s DNA, no genetic diversity is created through mitosis in normal healthy cells.
