Question

ariana garcia apontes practice p.7 mitosis and the cell cycle what happens during cytokinesis? two daughter cells form as the cytoplasm divides. the sister chromatids are pulled apart to opposite sides of the cell. the chromosomes condense, and the centrioles move toward opposite sides of the cell. the chromosomes align in the center of the cell.

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option based on the definition of cytokinesis.

• Option 1: Cytokinesis is the final stage of cell division where the cytoplasm divides, resulting in two daughter cells. This matches the process of cytokinesis.
• Option 2: Pulling sister chromatids apart is anaphase, not cytokinesis.
• Option 3: Chromosome condensation and centriole movement are part of prophase, not cytokinesis.
• Option 4: Chromosomes aligning at the center is metaphase, not cytokinesis.

Answer:

Two daughter cells form as the cytoplasm divides.
