CELL DIVISION

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Mitosis is the division of the ____ cytokinesis is the division of the ____
A
cytoplasm, nucleus
B
cytoplasm, DNA
C
DNA, nucleus
D
nucleus, cytoplasm
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -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.

Detailed explanation-3: -Answer and Explanation: The correct answer is (a) True. Cytokinesis occurs after mitosis or meiosis, which separates the genetic material of a cell as it divides. Once the genetic material is separated, cytokinesis occurs to split the cytoplasm of the cell into two separate cells.

Detailed explanation-4: -Mitotic cell division is only complete after the cell completely divides into two cells. After mitosis is complete, the cell with two nuclei undergoes cytokinesis to divide the cytoplasm, thereby completing mitotic cell division.

Detailed explanation-5: -The correct option is A True. Cytokinesis: Cytokinesis is the process of cell division where the cytoplasm of a parental cell divides into two daughter cells. It can occur along with or soon after nuclear division either by mitosis or meiosis.
