CHROMOSOMES AND CELL DIVISIONS

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Division of the cytoplasm and organelles.
A
Mitosis
B
Metaphase
C
Cytokinesis
D
Cytoplasm
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Cytokinesis occurs by a special mechanism in higher-plant cells-in which the cytoplasm is partitioned by the construction of a new cell wall, the cell plate, inside the cell. The position of the cell plate is determined by the position of a preprophase band of microtubules and actin filaments.

Detailed explanation-2: -During animal cytokinesis, the cell membrane gets divided into two by the formation of a cleavage furrow that keeps deepening through a contractile ring in the center of the parent cell. This cleavage furrow eventually divides the nucleus and cytoplasm into two identical daughter cells.
