Final answer:

Cytokinesis is the second part of the mitotic phase during which cell division is completed by the physical separation of the cytoplasmic components into two daughter cells.

Step-by-step explanation:

Cytokinesis is the second part of the mitotic phase during which cell division is completed by the physical separation of the cytoplasmic components into two daughter cells. After telophase, each new nucleus contains the exact same number and type of chromosomes as the original cell. During cytokinesis, the cytoplasm divides and the parent cell separates, producing two genetically identical cells, each with its own nucleus. A new cell membrane forms, and in plant cells, a cell wall forms as well.
