A cellular process resulting in the division of the cytoplasm of a cell and its separation into two daughter cells. Cytokinesis usually occurs after growth, replication, and segregation of cellular components. Cytokinesis that occurs in the context of cell cycle progression and result in the division of the cytoplasm of a cell and its separation into two daughter cells. Any process that is carried out at the cellular level, but not necessarily restricted to a single cell. For example, cell communication occurs among more than one cell, but occurs at the cellular level. The process of an actomyosin ring getting smaller in diameter, in the context of cytokinesis that takes place as part of a cell cycle. A cellular process that is involved in the progression of biochemical and morphological phases and events that occur in a cell during successive cell replication or nuclear replication events. Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of contraction of the actomyosin ring involved in cytokinesis that takes place as part of a cell cycle. A cellular process that is involved in the division of the cytoplasm of a cell and its separation into two daughter cells.
