Question

Cell division, the climax of the cell cycle, consists of
A)chromosome replication and separation.
B)the breakup of the nucleus at the metaphase plate.
C)cytokinesis plus mitosis or meiosis.
D)the formation of a new karyotype.

Accepted Answer

Cell division consists of two main stages: mitosis or meiosis and cytokinesis. Mitosis or meiosis is responsible for replicating and separating chromosomes, while cytokinesis divides the cytoplasm and organelles into two daughter cells. Therefore, choice C, which includes both mitosis or meiosis and cytokinesis, is the correct answer.
