Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -During the mitotic (M) phase, the cell separates its DNA into two sets and divides its cytoplasm, forming two new cells.
Detailed explanation-2: -During cytokinesis, the cytoplasm splits in two and the cell divides.
Detailed explanation-3: -The division of cytoplasm is termed as cytokinesis. It happens in the final stage of mitosis which is a form of asexual cellular division. Mitosis has four different stages known as prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase.
Detailed explanation-4: -Cytokinesis takes place in four stages: initiation, contraction, membrane insertion and completion. The events occurring within these stages differ in animal and plant cells.
