CHROMOSOMES AND CELL DIVISIONS

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The division of the nucleus is known as:
A
Synthesis
B
Mitosis
C
G1
D
G2
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -Division of the nucleus during cell division is called karyokinesis and is followed by cytokinesis which is the division of the cell cytoplasm. Both karyokinesis and cytokinesis are parts of the cell cycle. Karyokinesis occurs in all four stages-prophase, metaphase, anaphase and telophase.

Detailed explanation-3: -During mitosis, nucleoli disappear and are reconstituted in the daughter cells.

Detailed explanation-4: -Mitosis is a single nuclear division that results in two nuclei, usually partitioned into two new cells.
