The purpose of Cytokinesis is to completely segregate the chromosomal material into daughter cells following duplication (in the case of mitosis) or reduction (in meiosis). This page may be out of date.
Cytokinesis (from the Greek cyto- cell (cf. cytology) and kinesis motion, movement) is the process in which the cytoplasm of a single eukaryotic cell is divided to form two daughter cells. It usually initiates during the late stages of mitosis, and sometimes meiosis, splitting a mitotic cell in two, to ensure that chromosome number is maintained from one generation to the next. After cytokinesis two (daughter) cells will be formed that enter interphase to make exact copies of the (parent) original cell. In animal cells, one notable exception to the normal process of cytokinesis is oogenesis (the creation of an ovum in the ovarian follicle of the ovary), where the ovum takes almost all the cytoplasm and organelles, leaving very little for the resulting polar bodies, which then die.
