Hey!

Cytokinesis(/satokniss/) isthepart ofthecell division process during whichthecytoplasm of a single eukaryotic cell divides into two daughter cells. Cytoplasmic division begins during or afterthelate stages of nuclear division in mitosis and meiosis. ...Itdividesthecell into two daughter cells.

During cytokinesis, the cytoplasm splits in two and the cell divides. ... In animal cells, the plasma membrane of the parent cell pinches inward along the cell's equator until two daughter cells form

Good luck

Hi Syed


Cytokinesis is the cytoplasmic division of a cell at the end of mitosis or meiosis, bringing about the separation into two daughter cells.

Cytokinesis plays an important role i.e the work of cytokinesis process is to separate the cell in half and ensure that one nucleus ends up in each daughter cell. In simple words , we can say that cytokinesis  completes cell division by physically separating the contents of the mother cell between the two daughter cells.

I hope that it helps you.

Good luck

Thankyou
