Cytokinesis is the biological process involving the division of a cell’s cytoplasm during mitosis or meiosis. |

Karyokinesis is the biological process involving the division of a cell’s nucleus during mitosis or meiosis. |

(ii) |
It is divided into four stages – prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase. |

Stages such as prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase are not present in karyokinesis. |
Division of cytoplasm takes place during cytokinesis, while division of nucleus takes place during karyokinesis.
Karyokinesis: It is a phase in which division of nucleus into two daughter nuclei occurs. Separation of daughter chromosomes occur in this phase. It consists of four substages namely prophase, metaphase, anaphase and telophase.
Cytokinesis: It refers to division of the cytoplasm resulting in two daughter cells.
The division of cytoplasm is called cytokinesis, while the division of the nucleus is called Karyokinesis.
