Detailed explanation-1: -Mitosis goes through cytokinesis once and meiosis goes through cytokinesis twice. This statement is true. Mitosis only has one round of division where the cytoplasm will divide only once. However, meiosis has two rounds of division, where there will be two cytoplasmic division events.

Detailed explanation-2: -Mitosis is the process of nuclear division, which occurs just prior to cell division, or cytokinesis. During this multistep process, cell chromosomes condense and the spindle assembles.

Detailed explanation-3: -When cytokinesis finishes, we end up with two new cells, each with a complete set of chromosomes identical to those of the mother cell. The daughter cells can now begin their own cellular “lives, ” and – depending on what they decide to be when they grow up – may undergo mitosis themselves, repeating the cycle.

Detailed explanation-4: -Cytokinesis is the final stage of cell division. During cytokinesis, the cytoplasm splits in two and the cell divides, as shown below. In animal cells, the plasma membrane of the parent cell pinches inward along the cell’s equator until two daughter cells form.
