Question

multiple choice question the process that \pinches\ the plasma membrane in and results in the formation of two daughter cells following cell division is called telophase. cytokinesis. meiosis. mitosis.

Explanation:

• Telophase is a stage of mitosis/meiosis involving nuclear envelope reformation, not the membrane pinching for cell separation.
• Cytokinesis is the process where the cytoplasm divides, and in animal cells, the plasma membrane pinches (cleavage furrow) to form two daughter cells after cell division (mitosis or meiosis).
• Meiosis is a type of cell division for gamete production, not the specific process of membrane pinching.
• Mitosis is the division of the nucleus and its contents, while cytokinesis follows mitosis (or meiosis) to split the cell.

Answer:

B. cytokinesis
