The word itself means cell division. It is the last step when a cell begins the process of diving into two cells.

Does cytokinesis happen during interphase?

No, cytokinesis is the last step of cytokinesis. The steps of cell division are interphase, prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase, and cytokinesis.

What is a sentence for cytokinesis?

Cytokinesis is the process in cell division during which the cytoplasm of the cell is divided into two daughter cells.


What is the relationship between the processes of mitosis and cytokinesis?

Mitosis is the division of the nucleus, and cytokinesis is the division of the cytoplasm. Cytokinesis begins during telophase, and, unlike mitosis, occurs different in plants and animals. In plants, cytokinesis occurs when a new cell wall or cell plate forms between the two, newly formed nuclei. In animals, a cytokinesis is characterized by the formation of a cleavage furrow produced by contractile rings made up of microfilaments. (Campbell, and Reece 227). Cytokinesis would be a pointless process if not for mitosis because mitosis creates two daughter cells. If there weren't two fully formed nuclei by telophase, the cell would split and one "cell" would be left without a nucleus, and therefore useless. Although, by definition , mitosis may occur without cytokinesis, the two daughters must be separated in order to function properly and most efficiently.


How do cell that do not undego cytokinesis differ in appearance from cell that do undergo cytokinesis?

Cells that do not undergo cytokinesis will appear as a single, enlarged cell with multiple nuclei, known as a multinucleated cell. In contrast, cells that undergo cytokinesis will divide into two separate, distinct daughter cells with a single nucleus each.

What final stage of the cell cycle in which the cytoplasm divides?

The final stage of the cell cycle in which the cytoplasm divides is called cytokinesis. During cytokinesis, the cytoplasm of the parent cell is divided into two daughter cells, each containing their own nucleus.


Cytokinesis is completed?

The stage before cytokinesis is anaphase, the stage after cytokinesis in meiosis is prophase II. The stage during cytokinesis is Telophase.
