Cytokinesis is the process whereby the cytoplasm of a single cell is divided to spawn two daughter cells.

Cytokinesis
[Gr. kytos - a hollow vessel, now often taken to mean a cell; Gr. kinesis - movement] The division of the cytoplasm of a cell after the division of the nucleus.
cytokinesis
noun
the division of the cytoplasm and the plasma membrane following the division of the nucleus resulting into two cells, each having its own nucleus and cytoplasm surrounded by a plasma membrane.

Definition of cytokinesis :
The division of the cytoplasm of a cell into two daughter cells and it occurs during Telophase. See karyokinesis.
Cytokinesis
The contractile ring that produces cell cleavage is composed of an organized cytoskeletal network that includes actin and bipolar myosin-II filaments working together in a sliding action that mimics muscle contraction.
Cytokinesis
In animal cells, cytokinesis results when a fiber ring composed of a protein called actin around the center of the cell contracts pinching the cell into two daughter cells, each with one nucleus.
cytokinesis - division of the cytoplasm, usually at the end of nuclear division.
cytoplasm - gel-like substance in which all cellular components outside the nucleus are immersed.
Cytokinesis (SYE-toe-kin-EE-sis) The last of six phases of cell division. It occurs after the duplicated genetic material has segregated to opposite sides of the cell. During cytokinesis, the cell splits into two daughter cells.
cytokinesis - division of the cytoplasm and plasma membrane of a single cell into two cells.

Cytokinesis is the process where one cell splits off from its sister cell. It usually occurs after cell division. The Cell Cycle is the sequence of growth, DNA replication, growth and cell division that all cells go through.
Cytokinesis: The spindle fibers not attached to chromosomes begin breaking down until only that portion of overlap is left. It is in this region that a contractile ring cleaves the cell into two daughter cells.
Cytokinesis usually follows and the parent cell is divided into two daughter cells. Cytokinesis involves the action of microfilaments such as actin. In plants a cell wall is laid down between the two new identical nuclei.
Cytokinesis (division of the cytoplasm) begins in anaphase. A cleavage furrow forms as actin filaments underneath the plasma membrane constrict in a band called the contractile ring. Two cells will be produced as this process continues.
cytokinesis The division of the cytoplasm of a cell into two parts, as distinct from the division of the nucleus (which is mitosis).
cytokinin A group of hormones that promote growth by stimulating cell division.
The process of cytokinesis in animal cells, characterized by pinching of the plasma membrane; specifically, the succession of rapid cell divisions without growth during early embryonic development that converts the zygote into a ball of cells.
replication of DNA with completion of mitosis but no cytokinesis.
repeated replication of DNA without forming new nuclei in telophase. This can result in:
Polyploidy: the replicated chromosomes retain their individual identity.
The cytoskeleton acts to organize and maintain the cell's shape; anchors organelles in place; helps during endocytosis, the uptake of external materials by a cell, and cytokinesis, the separation of daughter cells after cell division; ...
And those mitotic spindles go and attach to each of the chromosomes and pull the chromosomes to opposite ends of the cell to allow cytokinesis, then, to occur.
the mechanical agent of cytokinesis, made of actin microfilaments. It is located in the cortical cytoplasm and provides the necessary force to split a single cell into two cells.
