CELL CYCLE

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
M phase, known as cell division is made up of two parts. What are they?
A
mitosis and cytokinesis
B
interphase and mitosis
C
interphase and cytokinesis
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Cell division occurs during M phase, which consists of nuclear division (mitosis) followed by cytoplasmic division (cytokinesis). The DNA is replicated in the preceding S phase; the two copies of each replicated chromosome (called sister chromatids) remain glued together by cohesins.

Detailed explanation-2: -The M phase is in turn comprised of two processes: mitosis, in which the cell’s chromosomes are equally divided between the two daughter cells, and cytokinesis (or cell division), in which the cytoplasm of the cell divides in half to form two distinct daughter cells.

Detailed explanation-3: -The M phase consists of mitosis and cytokinesis. Mitosis is the process in which DNA condenses into visible chromosomes, which is followed by the separation of the chromosomes into two identical sets.

Detailed explanation-4: -The process of mitosis, or cell division, is also known as the M phase. This is where the cell divides its previously-copied DNA and cytoplasm to make two new, identical daughter cells. Mitosis consists of four basic phases: prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase.
