Cytokinesis is a name applied to the cell separation phase of the cell division process.

Theoretical cytokinesis

Def. a cytoplasmic division of a cell at the end of mitosis or meiosis bringing about the separation into daughter cells is called cytokinesis.

Def. the "process in which the cytoplasm of a cell divides following the division of the nucleus"[1] is called cytokinesis.

Def. a "movement of an organism in response to an external stimulus"[2] is called kinesis.

Def. forming "words regarding or pertaining to cells"[3] is called cyto-.

In its perhaps simplest sense,

Def. a movement of a cell by that cell is called cytokinesis, or

Def. a self-propelled movement of a cell is called cytokinesis.

Research

Hypothesis:

  1. Cytokinesis uses all types of triphosphates.

Control groups

The findings demonstrate a statistically systematic change from the status quo or the control group.

“In the design of experiments, treatments [or special properties or characteristics] are applied to [or observed in] experimental units in the treatment group(s).[4] In comparative experiments, members of the complementary group, the control group, receive either no treatment or a standard treatment.[5]"[6]

Proof of concept

Def. a “short and/or incomplete realization of a certain method or idea to demonstrate its feasibility"[7] is called a proof of concept.

Def. evidence that demonstrates that a concept is possible is called proof of concept.

The proof-of-concept structure consists of

  1. background,
  2. procedures,
  3. findings, and
  4. interpretation.[8]
