Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
In which stage of the cell cycle does nuclear splitting take place?
A
G2
B
S
C
Mitosis
D
Cytokinesis
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Mitosis is the process of nuclear division, which occurs just prior to cell division, or cytokinesis. During this multistep process, cell chromosomes condense and the spindle assembles.

Detailed explanation-2: -Mitosis is a type of cell division in which one cell (the mother) divides to produce two new cells (the daughters) that are genetically identical to itself. In the context of the cell cycle, mitosis is the part of the division process in which the DNA of the cell’s nucleus is split into two equal sets of chromosomes.

Detailed explanation-3: -During telophase, the newly separated chromosomes reach the mitotic spindle and a nuclear membrane forms around each set of chromosomes, thus creating two separate nuclei inside the same cell.

Detailed explanation-4: -During interphase, the cell grows and the nuclear DNA is duplicated. Interphase is followed by the mitotic phase. During the mitotic phase, the duplicated chromosomes are segregated and distributed into daughter nuclei. The cytoplasm is usually divided as well, resulting in two daughter cells.

Detailed explanation-5: -Mitosis is a process of nuclear division in eukaryotic cells that occurs when a parent cell divides to produce two identical daughter cells. During cell division, mitosis refers specifically to the separation of the duplicated genetic material carried in the nucleus.
