Cytokinesis is the division of the cytoplasm of the cell. In meiosis after telophase I, cytokinesis does not take place always (may occur). After telophase II the four meiotic products are separated by cytokinesis. In plant cells separation of cytoplasm begins in the centre of the cell and gradually extends outward on each side . In animal cells the division of
cytoplasm begins with a furrowing of plasma membrane.
