. what divides during cytokinesis? that divides the cytoplasm of a parental cell into two daughter cells
Every species creates daughter cells from a mother cell. The most common method of dividing is a process called mitosis. Mitosis duplicates and splits the DNA -- the chromosomes -- within a cell so each daughter gets a full set. To finish the job, there's a final step called cytokinesis in which the cytoplasm is divided between the daughter cells. Mitosis Although mitosis in different types of organisms shares many characteristics, there are some differences.
