During Interphase, a cell doubles its content, whereas during the Miotic phase the DNA is divided and the splitting of cytoplasm occur to produce two new cells. Cytokinesis refers to the specific splitting of the cytoplasm as mentioned in the Miotic phase. Growth refers to the general and overarching process that occurs throughout.
