A
Cytokinesis
B
DNA replication during S phase
C
Synapsis of homologous chromosomes
D
Crossing over between homologous chromosomes
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand that both mitosis and meiosis are processes of cell division that result in the formation of daughter cells.
Recall that after the nuclear division phases (mitosis or meiosis), the cell must physically divide its cytoplasm to separate into distinct daughter cells.
Identify the term for this physical separation of the cytoplasm as 'cytokinesis'.
Recognize that DNA replication during S phase occurs before mitosis and meiosis, not at the end, so it is not the concluding process.
Note that synapsis and crossing over are specific to meiosis and occur during prophase I, not at the conclusion of cell division.
