"Cytokinesis is the process whereby the cytoplasm of a single cell is divided to spawn two daughter cells. It usually initiates during the late stages of mitosis, splitting a binucleate cell in two to ensure that chromosome number is maintained from one generation to the next."

cytokinesis is the diffision of cytoplasm that follows mitosis or meiosis th seperate the newly formed cells
however in animal cells its very simple where a bbelt of proteins split the cell into 2 , while for the plant cell its a bit complicated where the golgi apparatus is involved to make vesicles that form a structure called the cell wall which splits the cell

Cytokinesis is the separation of a cell. it happens 20 minutes after replication of a chromosome.
-pinching in of the plasma membrane to form a ring (fibers composed of a protein similar to eukaryotic tubulin are major components of this ring)
-As membrane pinches in, new cell wall materials are synthesized
-Separate the two cells
