D
Cytokinesis
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the phases of the cell cycle, which include interphase (G1, S, G2 phases) and mitosis (prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase), followed by cytokinesis.
Recall that during interphase, the cell prepares for division by growing and replicating its DNA, but the cytoplasm and plasma membrane do not divide at this stage.
Recognize that mitosis is the process where the nucleus divides, and it consists of prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase, but the cytoplasm remains undivided during these phases.
Identify cytokinesis as the process that follows mitosis, where the cytoplasm and plasma membrane physically divide to form two separate daughter cells.
Conclude that cytokinesis is the correct phase during which the cytoplasm and plasma membrane divide, completing the cell division process.
