Physical separation of the mother cell into two identical cells occurs when the actomyosin ring constricts, a mechanism analogous to muscle contraction.
Once recruited to the medial region of the cell, actin, myosin and several regulatory proteins coalesce into a ring structure called the "actomyosin ring".
Concurrently, proteins that are essential for cell division, cell shape and cell motility, namely actin and myosin, undergo dynamic rearrangements within the cell to concentrate at the future site of cell division. Mitosis is the phase of the cell division cycle when chromosomes are pulled to the opposite ends of a cell and the nucleus is evenly divided.
