The rest of the cell may then continue to divide by cytokinesis to produce two daughter cells.<!--<REF name=Maton1997/>--> Producing three or more daughter cells instead of the normal two is a mitotic error called tripolar mitosis or multipolar mitosis (direct cell triplication / multiplication).<ref name="Occurrence 2014">{{REFjournal
