Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The word cytokinesis has the prefix cyto-that refers to cell and the suffix-kinesis that refers to division or movement. Therefore, cytokinesis is the process where cell’s cytoplasm . The cell nucleus and its contents divide by a process called . mitosis.

Detailed explanation-2: -The word cytokinesis has the prefix cyto-that refers to a cell and the suffix –kinesis that refers to division or movement.

Detailed explanation-3: -cytokinesis, in biology, the process by which one cell physically divides into two cells. Cytokinesis represents the major reproductive procedure of unicellular organisms, and it occurs in the process of embryonic development and tissue growth and repair of higher plants and animals.

Detailed explanation-4: -Mitosis is the division of the nucleus in eukaryotic cells to make two identical nuclei. This is accompanied by cytokinesis (cyto-meaning cell, kinesis meaning movement), division of the cytoplasm, to result in division of the entire cell into two identical daughter cells.

Detailed explanation-5: -Mitosis divides the nucleus into two nuclei, followed by cytokinesis which divides the cytoplasm. Two genetically identical daughter cells result.
