Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Cytokinesis is the process in which the cytoplasm and its organelles are divided into two new daughter cells during somatic cell division. Meiosis is a type of cell division that results in four daughter cells with half the number of chromosomes as the original cell. The cell cycle refers to the series of events that occur as a cell grows and divides, including interphase and mitosis. Reproductive cell division refers to meiosis specifically and is involved in the production of gametes. Mitosis is the process of dividing the nucleus of a somatic cell into two daughter nuclei.
