Question

cytokinesis

• cytokinesis usually occurs at the same time as telophase
• cytokinesis is the division of cytoplasm to make two new cells
• each new cell is said to be diploid because it has the chromosomes as the orginal cell that started meiosis

Explanation:

Cytokinesis is a key process in cell division. It typically occurs during telophase. The division of the cytoplasm leads to the formation of two new cells. In mitosis (assuming this context as meiosis has different chromosome - related outcomes), each new cell is diploid. A diploid cell has the same number of chromosomes as the original cell. If it had half, it would be haploid (as in meiosis), and double would be incorrect as that would imply polyploidy which is not the normal case in regular cell division (mitosis).

Answer:

The correct option is "the same number of".
