What is cytokinesis

Cytokinesis is the process in which the cytoplasm of a single cell divideds to form two daughter cells. Animal cells perform this by forming a cleavage furrow while plant cells construct a cell plate down the middle of the cell.
Cytokinesis refers to the process in which the cytoplasm of a single eukaryotic cell is divided to form two daughter cells.
cytokines are non-antibody proteins in the body. They act as messengers between cells.

What are reproductive cells called

Reproductive cells are called GAMETES.

What term literally means comparison of shape or form and involves the comparison of the anatomy and development of organisms

morphology

morphology

By what process are sex cells produced

meiosis

By what process is the DNA code duplicated

replication

At the end of mitosis what forms around the chromosome groups

As mitosis winds down and the chromosomes reach their opposite poles of the cell, the poles of the spindle apparatus pull at the cell, elongating it. This elongation signals the nuclear envelopes to reassemble and surround the two clumps of chromosomes. In animal cells, a furrow appears around the cell that pinches it into two. In plant cells, a cell plate forms in the middle as the cell wall divides it into two.

Mitosis is one type of cell division that produces identical copies of the cell

Yes. It produces identical copies of the whole cell (which means all cell organelles) and splits into two. Those two cells are called "daughter cells."

How many chromosomes are in a normal human body

There are 23 pairs of chromosomes in a normal human body which means 46 chromosomes. People with down's syndrome have 47 chromosomes.

During meiosis twin chromosomes split apart and move to the

poles
