Cytokinesis occurs during which stage?

Cytokinesis occurs during the M phase (Mitosis) of the cell cycle. Here are the steps:

1. Prophase: The first stage of mitosis where the chromatin condenses into chromosomes, and the nuclear envelope breaks down.

2. Metaphase: The chromosomes align at the metaphase plate (equator of the cell).

3. Anaphase: The sister chromatids separate and move towards opposite poles of the cell.

4. Telophase: The chromosomes reach the poles and begin to decondense, and the nuclear envelope re-forms.

5. Cytokinesis: This is the final stage where the cytoplasm divides, resulting in two daughter cells. This process occurs simultaneously with telophase.
