Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
During which process is the cytoplasm divided into two new cells?
A
Interphase
B
Mitosis
C
Cytokinesis
D
DNA Replication
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Cell division ends as the cytoplasm divides into two by the process of cytokinesis. Except for plants, cytokinesis in eucaryotic cells is mediated by a contractile ring, which is composed of actin and myosin filaments and a variety of other proteins.

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: -This is also often known as cytoplasmic division or cell cleavage. Cytokinesis begins in anaphase in animal cells and prophase in plant cells, and terminates in telophase in both, to form the two daughter cells produced by mitosis.

Detailed explanation-4: -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.
