Here's a breakdown:
* Mitosis: Before cytokinesis, the cell undergoes mitosis, where the nucleus divides and the chromosomes are duplicated and separated.
* Cytokinesis: Cytokinesis follows mitosis, and it's the physical process that cleaves the cell into two new cells.
* Animal cells: In animal cells, a cleavage furrow forms in the plasma membrane, which pinches inward until the cell is divided.
* Plant cells: In plant cells, a cell plate forms between the daughter nuclei, which eventually develops into a new cell wall separating the two daughter cells.
