Cytokinesis in animal cells involves:

Answer: Cleavage furrow.

  • A Cell plate formation
  • B Cleavage furrow
  • C Cell wall formation
  • D Spindle disappearance

Correct answer: B. Cleavage furrow

Explanation: In animal cells, a cleavage furrow forms and pinches the cell in two. Plant cells form a cell plate from the inside out.

The Cell CycleG1SG2M (Mitosis)G1+S+G2 = Interphase (the longest part of the cycle, where the cell spends most of its time)

The cell cycle: G1 (growth and preparation), S (DNA replication, chromosome number stays 2n but DNA content doubles), G2 (final checks before division), and M (mitosis itself) - together, G1+S+G2 make up interphase.

Concept context

Mitosis and meiosis: how cells divide for growth, repair, and reproduction.
