Question

During cell division, what definition correctly describes the process of cytokinesis?

Answer 1

Answer:

The cell’s membrane separates the cytoplasm, forming two cells.

Explanation:

Cytokinesis is the physical process during cell division that separates the cytoplasm of the parental cell into two different daughter cells. Cytokinesis occurs after the telophase of mitosis. During this process, the cell membrane grows to surround each daughter cell and thus separate them. In animal cells, cytokinesis occurs by a ring of contractile microfilaments that lead to the constriction of the parental cell.
