    Which of the following statements is correct?

    A)  during meiosis cytokinesis generally takes place

    B)  during meiosis cytokinesis may not take place

    C)  during meiosis cytokinesis takes place after first phase of meiosis and does not take place after second phase of meiosis

    D)  all of the above.

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    : Cytokinesis is the division of the cytoplasm of the cell. In mitosis cytokinesis follows karyokinesis. In meiosis after telophase I, cytokinesis does not take place always (may occur). After telophase II the four meiotic products are separated by cytokinesis. In plant cells separation of cytoplasm begins in the centre of the cell and gradually extends outward on each side . In animal cells the division of cytoplasm begins with a furrowing of plasma membrane.
