Detailed explanation-1: -Cytokinesis (/ˌsaɪtoʊkɪˈniːsɪs/) 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.

Detailed explanation-2: -Instead, a structure called the cell plate forms down the middle of the cell, splitting it into two daughter cells separated by a new wall. When division is complete, it produces two daughter cells. Each daughter cell has a complete set of chromosomes, identical to that of its sister (and that of the mother cell).

Detailed explanation-3: -In plant cells, a new cellcenter wall must be formed between the daughter cells. Because of the rigid cell walls of the parent cell, contraction of theedge middle of the cell is not possible. Instead, a cellplate wall is formed in the center of the cell at the formermetaphase prophase plate.

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: -Rather than a contractile ring dividing the cytoplasm from the outside in, the cytoplasm of the plant cell is partitioned from the inside out by the construction of a new cell wall, called the cell plate, between the two daughter nuclei (Figure 18-37).
