During which stage of the cell cycle does the cell membrane pinchthe cell into two daughter cells?
|
telophase
|
|
interphase
|
|
prophase
|
|
cytokinesis
|
Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -During the mitotic (M) phase, the cell divides its copied DNA and cytoplasm to make two new cells. M phase involves two distinct division-related processes: mitosis and cytokinesis.
Detailed explanation-3: -Cytokinesis begins in anaphase and ends in telophase, reaching completion as the next interphase begins.
