Here's why:
* Nuclear division (mitosis or meiosis) results in the duplication and separation of the chromosomes, leading to two (or four in meiosis) complete sets of genetic material.
* Cytoplasmic division (cytokinesis) is the process where the cytoplasm divides, ultimately forming two separate daughter cells.
If cytokinesis doesn't happen, the nuclei remain within the same cytoplasm, creating a cell with multiple nuclei. This is not a typical condition for most cells, but it can occur in some situations.
