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.

What kind of rock is an genesis?
Mitosis
What does P.M.A.T. stand for?
The letters PMAT are used as a way to remember the stages of mitosis or cell division. P=prophase, M= metaphase, A= anaphase and T =telophase.
What vegetable were edward and Bella looking at when they met?
When they met in Biology class (for the second time) they were looking at 'onion root tip cells' and labelling them into the phases of 'mitosis'. Found on page 38.
What is the similarities between science and magic?
Magic relies on scientific laws to perform what can look like amazing feats. Throughout the years, people educated in science could be regarded as magicians, wizards, and witches. Today, magicians rely on scientific laws to perform magic acts. Science does not rely on magic, but magic relies on science.
What are meiosis and mitosis similarities?
It all started in the 1960's when New York began to build the World Trade Center in lower Manhatten. Before building, they had to tear down many buildings that took a couple of years. Later in the early 1970's the Two identical twin towers were beginning to take shape. By 1972, the first tower was roughly finished, and then in 1973 they were both roughly finished. They were later detailed. In 1978 Tower one of the World trade center was installes with a huge television entenna. The tower 1 World trade center wasn't as popular as tower 2, partly because you could not go to the top of the building. By the time the World trade center wasworld famous, the 21st century was beginning very quickly. In 1993 the World Trade Center car garage was bombed by terrorists, and took close to a year to repair. 2000 was the last full year for the Twin Towers, and on September 11th 2001 the World Trade Center was hit by jet planes, 1 in each tower, and within 57 minutes tower 2 collapsed leaving Tower 1 to collapse shortly after, leaving a huge scar in lower Manhatten. In 2009 the new One World Trade Center took shape and is now nearing completion.
What are the differences between mitosis and cytokinesis?
Mitosis is the division of the nucleus. Cytokinesis is the division of the cytoplasm.
What is the difference between mitisis and cytokinesis?
The difference between mitosis and cytokinesis is that during mitosis the nucleus of the cell divides, and during cytokinesis the cytoplasm divides.
The processes of mitosis and cytokinesis produce two identical?
daughter cells
What are the processes in which cells reproduce?
Eukaryotic cells reproduce by means of mitosis and cytokinesis.
What two processes occur when a cell with a distinct nucleus divides?
Mitosis and Cytokinesis
What two processes make up the m phase of the cell?
Mitosis And Cytokinesis
What two processes make up the M phase of the cell cycle?
Mitosis And Cytokinesis
Which does not belong binary fission mitosis meiosis cytokinesis?
Cytokinesis. Prokaryotes divide by binary fission. Eukaryotes divide by mitosis and meiosis. Therefore, those three are processes by which organism divide. Cytokinesis, however, is a stage of cellular division where the cytoplasm is split.
What is the process between one mitosis and the next?
Cytokinesis
Do multicellular organisms grow by making duplicants?
Yes. Multicellular organisms grow by the processes of mitosis and cytokinesis.
Why is cytokinesis less complex than mitosis?
Cytokinesis is simply the splitting of the cytoplasm into two new cell membranes. Mitosis is the complete splitting of the cells including interphase, DNA replication, and invloves much more processes.
Why is cytokinesis mixed up with mitosis?
Cytokinesis is sometimes considered the last step in mitosis but is not actually a phase of mitosis but is initiated by it. Cytokinesis is just the process when the cell finally divides to form two cells which mitosis has prepared it for. Also because people are stupid and cannot tell the difference between the two.
