Cytokinesis Overview

A cell plate forms that separates the two new cells.

Chromosomes are duplicated and aligned in the center.

Cytoplasm and organelles are evenly distributed throughout the cell.

Cell membrane pinches inward to form two distinct cells. (correct)

Cytokinesis ensures that only one new cell is formed from the parent cell.

Each new cell receives an unequal amount of cytoplasm.

Both new cells only retain the cell membrane of the parent cell.

Both new cells receive approximately half of the original cell's cytoplasm and organelles. (correct)

A cell plate forms in the center, which eventually becomes the cell wall. (correct)

The cell membrane strengthens around the edges of each new cell.

Nucleus divides completely before any other change.

Cytoplasm flows freely without any structural formation.
