Solution

Cytokinesis occurs 2 times during the process of meiosis, whereas cytokinesis occurs 1 time during the process of mitosis.

Here's why:

  1. Meiosis is a type of cell division that results in four daughter cells each with half the number of chromosomes of the parent cell. It consists of two rounds of division, meiosis I and meiosis II. Cytokinesis, the division of the cytoplasm to form two separate daughter cells, occurs once after each of these rounds, so it happens twice in total.

  2. Mitosis, on the other hand, is a part of the cell cycle when replicated chromosomes are separated into two new nuclei. This gives rise to two genetically identical daughter cells with the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell. In this process, cytokinesis occurs only once, after the single round of division.
