Question Set: Mitosis and Cytokinesis
Mitosis is the division of a eukaryotic cell’s nucleus into 2 nuclei. Cytokinesis is the division of the cytoplasm, which typically follows mitosis. This series of events results in 2 genetically identical cells. Use this question set to review concepts that are related to mitosis and cytokinesis in animal cells.
