Correct answer: D. nucleus
- A. cytodplasm
- B. vacuoles
- C. mitochondria
- D. nucleus

In ordinary cell division, nuclear division, called karyokinesis, occurs before cytoplasmic division, called cytokinesis, so the nucleus divides first. Students may choose cytoplasm because cytokinesis is the visible final separation of the daughter cells, but it follows nuclear division.
