Practice Question

The cleavage furrow first appears during which phase of mitosis?

Answer Choices:

Correct Answer:

anaphase

Rationale:

✦ The cleavage furrow first appears during anaphase of mitosis.

✦ This furrow is the initial indentation in the cell membrane that signals the beginning of cytokinesis.

✦ It forms as the cytoskeleton contracts inward using actin microfilaments.

✦ While prophase, metaphase, and telophase involve chromosomal events, the physical separation of the cytoplasm starts in anaphase.

✦ This process ensures that the two daughter cells will eventually separate completely after the genetic material has divided.
