Question

(b) part b mitosis and cytokinesis are important stages of the cell cycle. explain why mitosis must occur before cytokinesis. (1 pt)

Explanation:

Mitosis divides genetic material. Cytokinesis divides the cell - contents. Mitosis must occur first to ensure each new cell gets a complete set of genetic information.

Answer:

Mitosis divides the genetic material in the nucleus to form two genetically - identical nuclei. Cytokinesis divides the cytoplasm and organelles to form two separate cells. Mitosis must occur first so that each resulting cell receives a full and identical set of chromosomes.
