The differences between cytokinesis and karyokinesis are
| Cytokinesis | Karyokinesis |
| ‘Cyto’stands for the cytoplasm and kinesis for division. So, Cytokinesis is the physical method of cell division, where the cytoplasm of a parental cell is divided into two daughter cells. |
Karyon denotes nucleus and kinesis denotes division. So karyokinesis is the physical method of the nucleus division. Karyokinesis precedes cytokinesis. |
| It occurs at the end of the M-phase after the nuclear division is over. |
It takes place during the M-phase of the cell cycle. |

Analyse the events during every stage of cell cycle and notice how the following two parameters change
(i) number of chromosomes (N) per cell
(ii) amount of DNA content (C) per cell
Can there be mitosis without DNA replication in the ‘S’ phase?
Discuss with your teacher about
(i) haploid insects and lower plants where cell-division occurs.
(ii) some haploid cells in higher plants where cell-division does not occur.
Distinguish anaphase of mitosis from anaphase 1 of meiosis.
