Division of the cytoplasm following mitosis?

Answer 1

Here is a Biology I level answer for cytokinesis. I'm pasting it from the library.thinkquest.org website:

CytokinesisNow there are two separate nuclei, but they are in the same cell. The cell now needs to be split in half. Cytokenesis begins in anaphase and continues on through telophase. The first visible sign of cytokenesis is when the cell begins to pucker in, a process called furrowing. Furrowing tends to take place at right angles to the axis of the spindle (so that each nucleus is placed in a different cell of course!). The cytoskeleton is reused to build the next spindle for mitosis. Now the two cells will continue the cell cycle and begin their interphase again!

For more specific and detailed information you will need to hear from a real biologist.

Answer 2

Nucleus of a cell divides first.
The process of cytokinesis takes place.
The newly formed daughter cells are of half the size of the original (parent) cell.
Consequently these daughter cells grow back to the original size (size of a parent cell).

Answer 3

In an animal cell the cell membrane pinches down until the two new cells are disconnected, but in a plant cell it's different. In a plant cell, due to it's cell wall, a rigid layer, called a cell plate, goes between the two nuclei splitting the cell into two new cells. Then the cells grow their cell membranes and their cell plates, and repeat then goes through the cell cycle again.

Answer 4

Cytokinesis is the process in which the cytoplasm of a single eukaryotic cell is divided to form two daughter cells. It happens either in the mitosis or meiosis I and II.

Answer 5

Plant cells: Cytoplasm is divided by a cell plate

Animal cells: Cytoplasm is divided by a cell membrane

Answer 6

Cytokinesis. Happens during telophase.

Answer 7

Cytokinesis
