Cytokinesis


Is cytokinesis a part of mitosis?

No, cytokinesis is the process of dividing the cytoplasm of a cell, while mitosis is the process of dividing the nucleus of a cell. Cytokinesis occurs after mitosis is complete.


Why is cytokinesis mixed up with mitosis?

Cytokinesis is sometimes considered the last step in mitosis but is not actually a phase of mitosis but is initiated by it. Cytokinesis is just the process when the cell finally divides to form two cells which mitosis has prepared it for. Also because people are stupid and cannot tell the difference between the two.

What is the difference between mitisis and cytokinesis?

Mitosis is the process in which a cell divides its nucleus into two, creating two genetically identical daughter cells. Cytokinesis, on the other hand, is the process where the cytoplasm of the cell is divided into two, completing the cell division process by physically separating the two daughter cells.

The first step in meiosis?

Interphase then Mitosis then Cytokinesis then Mitosis the Cytokinesis That's what I remember. Mitosis will occur twice; the reason why there 4 daughter cells (gametes) and they are haploid.


What is the relationship between the processes of mitosis and cytokinesis?

Mitosis is the division of the nucleus, and cytokinesis is the division of the cytoplasm. Cytokinesis begins during telophase, and, unlike mitosis, occurs different in plants and animals. In plants, cytokinesis occurs when a new cell wall or cell plate forms between the two, newly formed nuclei. In animals, a cytokinesis is characterized by the formation of a cleavage furrow produced by contractile rings made up of microfilaments. (Campbell, and Reece 227). Cytokinesis would be a pointless process if not for mitosis because mitosis creates two daughter cells. If there weren't two fully formed nuclei by telophase, the cell would split and one "cell" would be left without a nucleus, and therefore useless. Although, by definition , mitosis may occur without cytokinesis, the two daughters must be separated in order to function properly and most efficiently.
