Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Mitosis is the process of dividing the nucleus of a cell into two identical daughter nuclei. Cytokinesis is the process by which the cytoplasm of the cell is divided into two separate cells. In some cases, such as in muscle cells, mitosis occurs without cytokinesis, resulting in cells with more than one nucleus. This is known as multinucleate or syncytial cells.
