<p>Cytokinesis is the process of partitioning the cytoplasm, chromosomes, and other components into two daughter cells during cell division. It occurs during the M phase of the cell cycle.</p> Signup and view all the answers

<p>During interphase, the cell grows, accumulates nutrients needed for mitosis, and replicates its DNA and some of its organelles. It is a crucial stage for preparing the cell for division.</p> Signup and view all the answers

<p>Eukaryotic cells, which have a cell nucleus, go through the cell cycle stages of interphase and mitosis (including cytokinesis), while prokaryotic cells do not have a defined nucleus and follow a simpler cell division process.</p> Signup and view all the answers
