Technically, the term "mitosis" refers only to the division of the DNA, the genetic material; the division of the cytoplasm is called "cytokinesis" and usually occurs during any from late anaphase through telophase.
Mitosis occurs in the cytoplasm of animal cells during the M-phase of the cell cycle. This is when the cell divides its nucleus into two identical daughter nuclei. Mitosis is essential for growth, repair, and maintenance of multicellular organisms.
Cytokinesis is the phase in mitosis where the cytoplasm of the cell is divided to form two daughter cells. This process completes the cell division cycle following the separation of the duplicated genetic material in the earlier stages of mitosis.
"Anaphase is the fourth phase of mitosis, the process that separates the duplicated genetic material carried in the nucleus of a parent cell into two identical daughter cells." according to Scitable.
The cytoplasm in a cell is not being divided, but rather pinched off by actin filaments. The actin filaments (microfilaments) in the cytoskeleton act as a drawstring and separate the adjoined cells so that they become two seperate functioning cells during Cytokinesis.
The completion of cytokinesis occurs during the final phase of mitosis, known as telophase. During telophase, the nuclear membrane reforms around the separated sets of chromosomes, and two distinct daughter nuclei are created. Cytokinesis, the division of the cytoplasm, then follows, resulting in the separation of the two daughter cells.

MITOSIS
Mitosis begins during the M phase of the cell cycle, which is also known as the mitotic phase. This phase includes mitosis, where the nucleus divides, and cytokinesis, where the cytoplasm divides, resulting in two daughter cells.
The phase of mitosis that is actually the non-dividing phase is Interphase. During Interphase, the cell grows, carries out its normal functions, and prepares for cell division. Cells spend about 90% of their time in Interphase.
Mitosis occurs in the cytoplasm of animal cells during the M-phase of the cell cycle. This is when the cell divides its nucleus into two identical daughter nuclei. Mitosis is essential for growth, repair, and maintenance of multicellular organisms.
Telophase
Cytoplasm divides during the cytokinesis phase of cell division. This process occurs after the chromosomes have been pulled apart during mitosis or meiosis, and it involves the physical separation of the cytoplasm and organelles into two daughter cells.
Cytokinesis is the process of dividing the cytoplasm during the M phase of the cell cycle. It typically occurs after nuclear division (mitosis or meiosis) and results in two daughter cells.
The cell plate is visible during telophase of mitosis. This is when the nuclear membrane reforms around the separated chromosomes, and the cell plate forms between the two new nuclei to eventually divide the cytoplasm into two daughter cells.
Cytokinesis is the phase in mitosis where the cytoplasm of the cell is divided to form two daughter cells. This process completes the cell division cycle following the separation of the duplicated genetic material in the earlier stages of mitosis.
"Anaphase is the fourth phase of mitosis, the process that separates the duplicated genetic material carried in the nucleus of a parent cell into two identical daughter cells." according to Scitable.
It divides during cleavage and cytokinesis, generally beginning sometime during telophase.
