No. |
Cytokinesis |
Karyokinesis |
Definition |
||
1. | The process which occurs after mitosis where cell membrane moves inward and create two daughter cells each with its own nucleus, and with identical chromosomes, this is called as Cytokinesis. | A process of a cell where the division of chromosome occurs into two daughter nuclei, this is known as Karyokinesis. |
Involvement |
||
2. | In the cytokinesis, cytoplasmic division is involved. | In the Karyokinesis, nucleus division is involved. |
Formation |
||
3. | In the cytokinesis, cell plate is formed. | In the Karyokinesis, spindle is formed. |
Division |
||
4. | In the cytokinesis, division of nucleus occurs into two. | In the Karyokinesis, division of cytoplasm occurs into two. |
Initial Or Final Step |
||
5. | In the cell division, this is the final step. | In the cell division, this is the initial step. |
6. | Division of two daughter nuclei results into two daughter cells. | Division of daughter chromosomes results into two daughter nuclei. |
