Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Cytokinesis is the process of the cytoplasm dividing to form two separate daughter cells after mitosis. If a cell undergoes mitosis without cytokinesis, it would result in a cell with two nuclei, each from the division of the original nucleus, but contained within a single cell because the cytoplasm has not divided.
