Distinguish between Karyokinesis & Cytokinesis.

1.	Distinguish between Karyokinesis & Cytokinesis.
Answer» Karyokinesis: 1. Involves division of nucleus. 2. Nucleus develops a constriction at the center and becomes dumbellshaped. 3. Constriction deepens and divides the nucleus into two. Cytokinesis: 1. Involves division of cytoplasm. 2. Plasma membrane develops a constriction along nuclear constriction. 3. It deepens centripetally and finally divides the cell into two cells.
