NEET BIOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Cytokinesis is the physical process of cell division, which divides the cytoplasm of a parental cell into two daughter 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 takes place in four stages: initiation, contraction, membrane insertion and completion. The events occurring within these stages differ in animal and plant cells.

Detailed explanation-4: -During anaphase, the chromosomes are separated to opposite sides of the cell. During telophase, two new nuclei form around the chromosomes. Then, during cytokinesis, the cytoplasm divides and the new membranes form, separating the one cell into two daughter cells.
