Do Meiotic cells undergo cytokinesis?
Yes. Cytokinesis refers to the division of the cytoplasm of a cell that has two nuclei. This has to happen during meiosis since you end up with more cells than you started with. There is a nuance about whether this division is equal or not. I’ve seen some people refer to cytokinesis as specifically referring to *equal* division, whereas other people consider it to be any division. This is not an issue during generation of male gametes in meiosis, but it is an issue during oogenesis. During oogenesis, all of the organelles and almost all of the cytoplasm stay with one nucleus and you could think of the extra nuclei as simply being expelled (as opposed to a controlled division in which organelles are evenly divided). Personally, I still consider that cytokinesis, but I think there are some people out there who don’t. I believe the cytoskeletal apparatus is still functioning the same way–just in an asymmetrical arrangement. That would be my justification for saying that it’s still cytoki
