Scelta multipla
In the eukaryotic cell cycle, cytokinesis (division of the cytoplasm to form two separate daughter cells) occurs primarily during which phase?
A
M phase (late anaphase through telophase)
B
G1 phase
C
S phase
D
G2 phase
Guida verificata passo dopo passo1
Recall the main phases of the eukaryotic cell cycle: G1 phase (cell growth), S phase (DNA synthesis), G2 phase (preparation for mitosis), and M phase (mitosis and cytokinesis).
Understand that mitosis (M phase) is the process where the nucleus divides, and it is closely followed by cytokinesis, which divides the cytoplasm to form two daughter cells.
Identify that cytokinesis typically begins during late anaphase and continues through telophase, which are stages within the M phase.
Recognize that G1, S, and G2 phases are involved in cell growth and DNA replication, not the physical division of the cell's cytoplasm.
Conclude that cytokinesis occurs primarily during the M phase, specifically from late anaphase through telophase.
