Mitotic Phase: <strong>Mitosis</strong> + Cytokinesis<br />
Cytokinesis<br />
The division of cytoplasm to produce two daughter<br />
cells. Usually begins during telophase.<br />
• In animal cells: <strong>Division</strong> is accomplished by a<br />
cleavage furrow that encircles the cell like a ring in<br />
the equator region.<br />
• In plant cells: <strong>Division</strong> is accomplished by the<br />
formation of a cell plate between the daughter cells.<br />
Each cell produces a plasma membrane <strong>and</strong> a cell<br />
wall on its side of the plate.
