Responses

The cell is going through cytokinesis, because cell division is being completed.
The cell is going through cytokinesis, because cell division is being completed.

The cell is going through anaphase, because the two cells are pulling apart.
The cell is going through anaphase, because the two cells are pulling apart.

The cell is going through prophase, because the cells are coming together to reproduce
The cell is going through prophase, because the cells are coming together to reproduce

Cytokinesis divides the cytoplasm into two daughter cells.

Based on the options presented, the following statements are correct:

  1. The cell is going through cytokinesis, because cell division is being completed.
  2. Cytokinesis divides the cytoplasm into two daughter cells.

The other options, which refer to anaphase and prophase, are not applicable in this context of cell division, as they describe different stages of mitosis. Anaphase involves the separation of sister chromatids, and prophase involves chromosome condensation and the formation of the mitotic spindle—neither of which aligns with the description provided when mentioning cells pulling apart or coming together.
