Explanation
Karyokinesis refers specifically to the division of the nucleus (karyon = nucleus, kinesis = movement/division). It includes all stages from prophase to telophase. Cytokinesis is the division of the cytoplasm. Together they complete cell division. In some cases, karyokinesis can occur without cytokinesis (e.g., syncytium formation).
