A Correct answer
Explanation

Cytokinesis, during which the cell cytoplasm divides to form two daughter cells, begins during telophase of mitosis. It occurs differently in plant and animal cells. In animal cells, cytokinesis is accomplished by cleavage, the division or splitting of the cell cytoplasm. Cleavage begins with the formation of a cleavage furrow in the region of the metaphase plate.
