What is the process called that involves the division of the cell's cytoplasm?

• A. Mitotic division
• B. Cytokinesis
• C. Apoptosis
• D. Interphase

Answer: (B)

The process that involves the division of the cell's cytoplasm is known as cytokinesis. This occurs at the end of cell division, specifically following mitosis or meiosis, where the cytoplasmic components of the parent cell are divided into two daughter cells. Cytokinesis ensures that each daughter cell receives the necessary cytoplasmic organelles and sufficient cellular materials to function effectively. In contrast to cytokinesis, mitotic division refers to the entire process of cell division including both the segregation of the nuclear material (mitosis) and the division of the cytoplasm (cytokinesis). Apoptosis refers to the programmed process of cell death, which is unrelated to the division of the cytoplasm. Interphase is the phase of the cell cycle where the cell prepares for division but does not involve any physical separation of the cytoplasm or the nuclear material.
