What occurs during cytokinesis?
A. The cells grow, store up energy, and take in nutrients, so mitosis can begin.
B. The new chromosomes align at the center of the cell then separate, so the DNA can shift toward the ends of the cell.
C. The original nuclei, cytoplasm, organelles, and cell membrane are divided into two "daughter" cells.
D. The enzymes in the cell are manufactured, the DNA is replicated, and a parent cell is created.

Cytokinesis is the division of the cytoplasm and cell contents after mitosis, resulting in two daughter cells. This process involves the separation of the original cell's components, either through a contractile ring in animal cells or a cell plate in plant cells. It is essential for the completion of cell division. ;

Cytokinesis is the division of the cytoplasm and cell contents after mitosis, creating two daughter cells. In animal cells, a contractile ring forms to separate the cells, while in plant cells, a cell plate develops. This process is critical for successful cell division, ensuring each new cell functions independently.
