Accepted Answer

Cytokinesis is the specific process of dividing the cytoplasm of a parent cell into two daughter cells following mitosis or meiosis. Diakinesis is a stage in meiosis where chromosomes condense and become visible. Mitosis is the process of cell division that results in two identical daughter cells. Meiosis is the process of cell division that results in four genetically diverse daughter cells. Cytomegaly is the enlargement of cells due to a variety of reasons such as infection or cellular stress.
