Sytokineja

Sytokineja is a term derived from the words "sytokinesis" and "cytokinesis," referring to the simultaneous occurrence of these two processes in cell division. Sytokinesis is the final stage of cell division, where the cytoplasm of a single cell is divided to form two separate daughter cells. Cytokinesis follows mitosis, the process by which the cell's nucleus divides. In sytokineja, these two processes happen concurrently, meaning the cytoplasm begins to divide while the nucleus is still in the process of dividing. This simultaneous occurrence is particularly notable in certain types of cells, such as plant cells and some animal cells, where the cell wall or other structural components may influence the timing and mechanism of cytokinesis. The term sytokineja is less commonly used than the individual terms sytokinesis and cytokinesis, but it serves to highlight the coordinated nature of these critical processes in cell division.
