Cytokinesis is the division of protoplast of a cell into
two daughter cells after the nuclear division or
karyokinesis, so that each daughter cell comes to have its
own nucleus. Cell organelles (mitochondria, plastids Golgi
bodies, lysosomes, endoplasmic reticulum, ribosomes) are also distributed between the two daughter cells. Sometimes,
cytokinesis does not follow karyokinesis. It produces
multinucleate condition known as coenocyte or syncytium.
