Multiple Choice
In the cell cycle, which process typically follows mitosis to complete cell division by physically separating the cytoplasm into two daughter cells?
A
DNA replication (S phase)
B
Prophase
C
Cytokinesis
D
G2 phase
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand that the cell cycle consists of several phases: G1 phase, S phase (DNA replication), G2 phase, mitosis, and cytokinesis.
Recognize that mitosis is the process where the duplicated chromosomes are separated into two nuclei.
Identify that after mitosis, the cell must physically divide its cytoplasm to form two distinct daughter cells.
Know that the process responsible for physically separating the cytoplasm is called cytokinesis.
Therefore, the process that typically follows mitosis to complete cell division is cytokinesis.
