When does cytokinesis occur in meiosis?
Understand the Problem
The question is asking about the timing of cytokinesis during the process of meiosis, which is a crucial event in cell division where the cytoplasm divides to form two daughter cells. This process specifically occurs after the two stages of meiotic division (meiosis I and meiosis II).
Answer
After telophase I and telophase II
Cytokinesis occurs twice in meiosis, once after telophase I and once after telophase II.
Answer for screen readers
Cytokinesis occurs twice in meiosis, once after telophase I and once after telophase II.
More Information
Cytokinesis ensures the division of the cytoplasm into two cells each time it occurs, producing a total of four daughter cells by the end of meiosis.
