WHAT DOES CYTOKINESIS MEAN IN ENGLISH?

cytokinesis

Cytokinesis

Cytokinesis (from the Greek cyto- (cell) and kinesis (motion, movement)) is the process in which the cytoplasm of a single eukaryotic cell is divided to form two daughter cells. It usually initiates during the late stages of mitosis, and sometimes meiosis, splitting a mitotic cell in two, to ensure that chromosome number is maintained from one generation to the next. In animal cells, one notable exception to the normal process of cytokinesis is oogenesis (the creation of an ovum in the ovarian follicle of the ovary), where the ovum takes almost all the cytoplasm and organelles, leaving very little for the resulting polar bodies, which then die. In plant cells, a dividing structure known as the cell plate forms within the centre of the cytoplasm and a new cell wall forms between the two daughter cells. Cytokinesis is distinguished from the prokaryotic process of binary fission.

Definition of cytokinesis in the English dictionary

The definition of cytokinesis in the dictionary is division of the cytoplasm of a cell, occurring at the end of mitosis or meiosis.
