Karyokinesis:
1. It is the division of nucleus, which occurs in a specific sequence of chromosomal events during cell division.
2. It involves formation of spindle and movement of chromosomes.
3. It may occur without being followed by cytokinesis.
ADVERTISEMENTS:
Cytokinesis:
1. It is the division of cytoplasm that occurs after the karyokinesis.
2. Here diassembled micro-tubles are used but no chromosomal movement occurs.
3. It can not occur without karyokinesis.
