Cytokinesis is the process that follows the last stage of mitosis. With two complete copies of the DNA in two different regions of a cell, the membrane will pinch and divide the cytoplasm in half. After that then you have two cells that are identical to the original cell. Each of the two new cells have a complete copy of the DNA and contain all of the organelles that the original cell had.

Interphase is a period of cell growth and normal activity. This period comes between mitosis. Cells that don’t need to replicate will spend their time in this stage. If a cell does need to divide, it will copy all the DNA while period. This way, the cell has two complete copies of its DNA before it begins the process of mitosis.
