Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which does NOT describe cytokinesis?
A
it is a process that occurs toward the end of mitosis
B
it starts in animal cells by forming a cleavage furrow
C
it is the last phase of mitosis
D
it divides the cytoplasm in plants by building a cell plate
E
it is the division of the cell’s cytoplasm and its contents
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -These phases are prophase, prometaphase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase. Cytokinesis is the final physical cell division that follows telophase, and is therefore sometimes considered a sixth phase of mitosis.

Detailed explanation-2: -Telophase is the fifth and final phase of mitosis, the process that separates the duplicated genetic material carried in the nucleus of a parent cell into two identical daughter cells.

Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -Telophase II and cytokinesis: This is the last phase of meiosis, however cell division is not complete without another round of cytokinesis. Once cytokinesis is complete there are four granddaughter cells, each with half a set of chromosomes (haploid):
