  • Cytokinesis: Understanding Cell Division After Mitosis
    The process you're describing is called cytokinesis. Here's a breakdown:

    * Mitosis: This is the process of nuclear division where the parent cell's chromosomes are duplicated and divided equally between two daughter cells.

    * Cytokinesis: This is the division of the cytoplasm, which follows mitosis. It's the process where the cell membrane pinches inward, ultimately separating the two daughter cells.

    So, the parent cell first undergoes mitosis to form multiple nuclei, and then cytokinesis divides the cytoplasm to create the daughter cells.
