Solution

The correct option is B False
  1. Cell cycle is a set of events that occur in a cell during its division and growth.
  2. It is divided into two phases which are the Interphase and the Mitotic phase.
  3. During interphase, a cell prepares itself for division whereas actual division occurs in the mitotic or M-phase.
  4. M phase or Mitotic phase is the period of cell division during which the duplicated chromosome is divided equally between two progeny cells.
  5. The M phase begins with nuclear division, which corresponds to the separation of daughter chromosomes known as karyokinesis and usually finishes with cytoplasmic division, also known as cytokinesis.

So, the given statement ‘M-phase starts with cytoplasmic division and terminates with the division of nucleus’ is false.
