Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Cytokinesis is the process of dividing the cytoplasm and forming two daughter cells after mitosis (cell division). Synthesis refers to the copying of DNA during the S phase of interphase. Growth is an increase in cell size. Meiosis is a type of cell division that creates four genetically diverse daughter cells (in sexually reproducing organisms), while mitosis creates two genetically identical daughter cells (in all eukaryotic cells).
