CELL CYCLE

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
During what phase of the cell cycle does the cell divide into two cells?
A
Cytokinesis
B
Mitosis phase
C
S phase
D
G2 phase
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Cytokinesis performs an essential process to separate the cell in half and ensure that one nucleus ends up in each daughter cell. Cytokinesis starts during the nuclear division phase called anaphase and continues through telophase .

Detailed explanation-2: -Cytokinesis begins in anaphase and ends in telophase, reaching completion as the next interphase begins. The first visible change of cytokinesis in an animal cell is the sudden appearance of a pucker, or cleavage furrow, on the cell surface.

Detailed explanation-3: -During the mitotic (M) phase, the cell separates its DNA into two sets and divides its cytoplasm, forming two new cells.

Detailed explanation-4: -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-5: -The third stage of the cell cycle is called cytokinesis. During this stage, the cytoplasm of the cell divides to form two cells. These two cells are called daughter cells. The new daughter cells are exactly the same as each other.
