Select one:

- Cytokinesis

- Mitosis

- Apoptosis

- Partitioning

- Proteolysis

Answer 1

In the cell division cycle, cytokinesis is the division of cytoplasm.

Cyto means cell and kinesis means division and cytokinesis means cell division (also division of cytoplasm)

Mitosis is a type of cell division which results in production of 2 daughter cells identical to parent cells.

Apoptosis is the programmed cell death that occurs by control of cell by its own by releasing some lytic enzymes inside cells.

Partitioning means division of cell into different compartments like cytoplasm and nucleus.

Proteolysis is the breakdown of proteins into its constituent aminonacids by proteolytic enzymes.
