Cytokinesis vs. Mitosis

Cytokinesisnoun

(biology) The process in which the cytoplasm of a cell divides following the division of the nucleus.

Cytokinesisnoun

organic process consisting of the division of the cytoplasm of a cell following karyokinesis bringing about the separation into two daughter cells

Cytokinesis

Cytokinesis () is the part of the cell division process during which the cytoplasm of a single eukaryotic cell divides into two daughter cells. Cytoplasmic division begins during or after the late stages of nuclear division in mitosis and meiosis.

Mitosisnoun

(cytology) The division of a cell nucleus in which the genome is copied and separated into two identical halves. It is normally followed by cell division.

Mitosisnoun

See Karyokinesis.

Mitosisnoun

cell division in which the nucleus divides into nuclei containing the same number of chromosomes

Mitosisnoun

a type of cell division that results in two daughter cells each having the same number and kind of chromosomes as the parent nucleus, typical of ordinary tissue growth

Mitosis

In cell biology, mitosis () is a part of the cell cycle in which replicated chromosomes are separated into two new nuclei. Cell division gives rise to genetically identical cells in which the total number of chromosomes is maintained.
