So what exactly is cytokinesis? So cytokinesis begins in telephase and then it continues after telephase ends. So basically cytokinesis is the breaking of the cytoplasm. So this is the process by which the cell membrane begins to divide, the cytoplasm begins to separate and the organelles and the organelles are basically distributed among two cells equally. So we have two identical daughter cells that are the same in size and which have the same exact genetic information. And notice that our chromosomes are no longer chromosomes because they decondence into the chromatin form as shown in the following diagram.
