Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -The entirety of mitosis up until this point is known as karyokinesis, which refers to the splitting of the nuclear material into genetically identical diploid sets. The cell then splits to form two genetically identical daughter cells, in a process known as cytokinesis.

Detailed explanation-3: -The contractile ring shrinks at the equator of the cell, pinching the plasma membrane inward, and forming what is called a cleavage furrow. Eventually, the contractile ring shrinks to the point that there are two separate cells each bound by its own plasma membrane.

Detailed explanation-4: -Cytokinesis. Cytokinesis is the second part of the mitotic phase during which cell division is completed by the physical separation of the cytoplasmic components into two daughter cells.

Detailed explanation-5: -During cytokinesis, the cytoplasm splits in two and the cell divides. Cytokinesis occurs somewhat differently in plant and animal cells, as shown in the Figure below. In animal cells, the cell membrane of the parent cell pinches inward along the cell’s equator until two daughter cells form.
