The cell process following meiosis or mitosis in which the cytoplasm divides and separates into new cells is called cytokinesis.

Here's a breakdown:

* Mitosis and Meiosis: These are nuclear divisions that result in the duplication of chromosomes.

* Cytokinesis: This is the division of the cytoplasm and organelles, creating two separate daughter cells.

Key Differences in Cytokinesis:

* Animal Cells: Cytokinesis in animal cells involves a cleavage furrow forming at the cell equator, constricting inward until the two daughter cells separate.

* Plant Cells: Cytokinesis in plant cells involves the formation of a cell plate, a new cell wall that grows outward from the center of the cell, eventually dividing the cell into two.
