Question

true or false? Cytokinesis is the division of the cytoplasm, whereas mitosis is the division of the nucleus.

Answer 1

Answer:True

Explanation:

Mitosis is just a part of a cell cycle. Mitotic M phase include both mitosis and cytokinesis.

In the cell cycle Mitotic cell division alternate with Interphase a growth phase. In the mitotic phase, mitosis divides the cell nucleus and distribute it's chromosomes to the daughter nuclei, cytokinesis divides the cytoplasm, producing two daughter cells.

During mitosis in the telophase stage of mitosis the division of one nucleus into two genetically identical nuclei, is completed.

In Cytokinesis, the division of the cytoplasm is usually well under way by the late telophase, so the two daughter cells appear shortly after the end of mitosis
