What is cytokinesis?

• The process by which a cell divides its cytoplasm and organelles to form two daughter cells.

• The process by which a cell divides its nucleus to form two daughter cells.

• The process by which a cell combines with another cell to form a new cell.

• The process by which a cell increases in size and volume.

What happens during prophase?

• Chromatin condenses into chromosomes, nuclear membrane breaks down, and centrioles form.

• Chromatin disperses into the cytoplasm, nuclear membrane breaks down, and spindle fibers form.

• Chromatin condenses into chromosomes, nuclear membrane remains intact, and spindle fibers form.

• Chromatin condenses into chromosomes, nuclear membrane breaks down, and spindle fibers form.

What happens during anaphase?

• The sister chromatids remain attached to each other.

• The sister chromatids disintegrate and are absorbed by the cell.

• The sister chromatids separate and move towards opposite poles of the cell.

• The sister chromatids move towards the same pole of the cell.
