The Division of Cytoplasm is Accomplished During ____________

Question

The division of cytoplasm is accomplished during ____________.  
A) prokaryotic fission
B) interphase
C) meiosis
D) cytokinesis
E) karyokinesis

Accepted Answer

Cytokinesis is the process of dividing the cytoplasm in eukaryotic cells. During cytokinesis, the cytoplasm is physically divided into two daughter cells, each containing its own nucleus and organelles. Prokaryotic cell division also involves the division of cytoplasm, but it occurs during a process called fission, not cytokinesis. Interphase is the period between cell divisions, during which the cell prepares for the next division. Meiosis is a specialized type of cell division that produces haploid cells, such as gametes. Karyokinesis is the division of the cell nucleus during mitosis or meiosis.
