Detailed explanation-1: -Cytokinesis, the division of the cytoplasm to form two new cells, overlaps with the final stages of mitosis. It may start in either anaphase or telophase, depending on the cell, and finishes shortly after telophase.
Detailed explanation-2: -Cytokinesis. Cytokinesis is the second part of the mitotic phase during which cell division is completed by the physical separation of the cytoplasmic components into two daughter cells.
Detailed explanation-3: -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: -Cell division is mainly of two types-mitosis and meiosis. It involves karyokinesis, the division of nucleus and cytokinesis, the division of the cytoplasm. Hence, cytokinesis is a part of cell division.
