Question

Differentiate between karyokinesis and cytokinesis.

Answer 1

Mitosis and meiosis play major role in cell division. They have two processes by which they divide the nucleus and cytoplasm of a cell known as Karyokinesis and Cytokinesis. The main difference between karyokinesis and cytokinesis is as follows, during a cell cycle, nuclear and cytoplasm division also takes place. The division of nucleus and formation of nuclear envelope around the daughter cell chromosomes at the end of cell cycle is known as Karyokinesis and division of cytoplasm is called Cytokinesis. Karyokinesis is usually followed by Cytokinesis.
