It is the process in which the cytoplasm of a single eukaryotic cell is divided to form two daughter cells. It usually initiates during the late stages of mitosis, and sometimes meiosis, splitting a binucleate cell in two, to ensure that chromosome number is maintained from one generation to the next. In animal cells, one notable exception to the normal process of cytokinesis is oogenesis (the creation of an ovum in the ovarian follicle of the ovary), where the ovum takes almost all the cytoplasm and organelles, leaving very little for the resulting polar bodies, which then die. In plant cells, a dividing structure known as the cell plate forms across the centre of the cytoplasm and a new cell wall forms between the two daughter cells.
Cytokinesis is the division of cytoplasm.
Cytokinesis is distinguished from the prokaryotic process of binary fission.
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.
A plant cell is the type of cell that forms a cell plate during cytokinesis. This structure helps in dividing the cytoplasm during cell division. Animal cells typically undergo cytokinesis by forming a cleavage furrow, while amoebas use a process known as binary fission.
Cytokinesis happens at the cell plate in the plant cell It happens at the ceavage furrow in the animal cell.... The only similarity is that it is the microtubules shortening and tightning until itll eventually pinch the mother cell into two identical daughter cells
Tissues performing nuclear division without intervening cytokinesis
A cell plate forms only in plant cells during cell division. It forms in the middle of the cell during cytokinesis and eventually develops into a new cell wall. Animal cells do not have cell plates; instead, they undergo cytokinesis by a process called cleavage, where the cell membrane pinches in to separate the two daughter cells.

Animal cells do not form a cell plate during cytokinesis. Instead, they undergo a process called cleavage, where a cleavage furrow forms and pinches the cell into two daughter cells. This is in contrast to plant cells, where a cell plate forms during cytokinesis to divide the cell.
Yes, a cell can undergo mitosis without completing cytokinesis, resulting in a multinucleated cell. This can occur in certain conditions, such as in muscle fibers or during certain stages of development. When mitosis occurs without cytokinesis, the cell divides its genetic material but does not physically separate into two distinct cells.
Both divide the replicated DNA into two separate nuclei, and they both undergo cytokinesis to divide the cell, though the process is different in both.

Animal cells do undergo cytokinesis, which is the main step in mitosis and meiosis.during cytokinesis the cytoplasm (with doubled nuclei and organelles) of a cell splits equally into two daughter cells. one exceptional case in animal cell is that during oogenesis the ovum takes the major part of the cytoplasm and all organelles, giving a very small amount to the polar bodies.
A cell plate forms only in plant cells during cell division. It forms in the middle of the cell during cytokinesis and eventually develops into a new cell wall. Animal cells do not have cell plates; instead, they undergo cytokinesis by a process called cleavage, where the cell membrane pinches in to separate the two daughter cells.
The phase when two cells undergo cytokinesis is the final stage of cell division, known as telophase. During telophase, the cytoplasm of the cell is divided into two daughter cells, completing the process of cell division.
A distinguishing feature of plant cell division is the formation of a cell plate during cytokinesis. This structure separates the two daughter cells by depositing new cell wall material between them. Animal cells typically undergo cytokinesis by pinching in the cell membrane to form a cleavage furrow.
