CELL DIVISION

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What is the purpose of cytokinesis?
A
cell metabolism and growth
B
nucleic division
C
cytoplasmic division
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Cell division ends with the physical separation of the two daughter cells, a process known as cytokinesis. This final event ensures that nuclear and cytoplasmic contents are accurately partitioned between the two nascent cells.

Detailed explanation-2: -In general, the goal of cytokinesis is common in all organisms: to physically separate a mother cell into two daughter cells.

Detailed explanation-3: -During cytokinesis, the cytoplasm splits in two and the cell divides. The process is different in plant and animal cells, as you can see in Figure 7.3. 8. In animal cells, the plasma membrane of the parent cell pinches inward along the cell’s equator until two daughter cells form.

Detailed explanation-4: -The functions of cytokinesis are: The process helps in maintaining the accuracy of cell division. Where the cytoplasmic component gets equally distributed into the daughter cells. The process helps in adding precision to the division.

Detailed explanation-5: -Cytokinesis or cytoplasmic division, divides the original cell, organelles and contents into two roughly equal halves. The original cell now has two daughter nuclei that are roughly opposite in poles.
