Detailed explanation-1: -Cytokinesis performs an essential process to separate the cell in half and ensure that one nucleus ends up in each daughter cell. Cytokinesis starts during the nuclear division phase called anaphase and continues through telophase.

Detailed explanation-2: -During cytokinesis, the cytoplasm splits in two and the cell divides. The process is different in plant and animal cells, as you can see in Figure 7.3. 8. In animal cells, the plasma membrane of the parent cell pinches inward along the cell’s equator until two daughter cells form.

Detailed explanation-3: -Cytokinesis is the physical process that finally splits the parent cell into two identical daughter cells. During cytokinesis, the cell membrane pinches in at the cell equator, forming a cleft called the cleavage furrow.

Detailed explanation-4: -Cell division ends as the cytoplasm divides into two by the process of cytokinesis. Except for plants, cytokinesis in eucaryotic cells is mediated by a contractile ring, which is composed of actin and myosin filaments and a variety of other proteins.

Detailed explanation-5: -Cytokinesis is the last step in the cell division process in which the parent cell is divided into two daughter cells by splitting the cytoplasm. The divided cells are separated by the cleavage furrow method by pinching of plasma membrane This type of cytokinesis is common in animal cell division.
