Question

define cytokinesis

Answer 1

Cytokinesis is the process in which the cytoplasm of a cell is divided into two daughter cells following the completion of nuclear division (mitosis or meiosis). It is the final stage of cell division, which ensures the proper distribution of genetic material and organelles to the daughter cells. During cytokinesis, the cell undergoes a series of events including the formation of a contractile ring or cell plate that constricts or develops between the two nuclei, eventually promoting the separation of the cytoplasm into two distinct cells.
