The process that physically separates eukaryotic daughter cells from each other following nuclear division is known as:
A) Mitosis
B) Meiosis
C) Cytokinesis
D) Karyokinesis
E) None of these

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Mitosis refers to the division of the nucleus, while cytokinesis refers to the physical separation of the cytoplasm and organelles between daughter cells. Meiosis applies to the specialized type of cell division that produces gametes, and karyokinesis generally refers to the division of the nucleus during cell division. Therefore, the best choice for the process that separates eukaryotic daughter cells is cytokinesis.
