Question

Describe cytokinesis in plants and animals.
In animals:
In plants: -

Answer 1

Cytokinesis is the division of a cell at the end of mitosis, bringing about the separation into 2 daughter cells.
In animals, cytokinesis occurs when a cleavage furrow forms.
In plants, cytokinesis occurs when a cell wall forms in between the daughter cells.
A cleavage furrow is the indentation of the cell's surface.
Hope this helps ;)

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:
Cytokinesis occurs in mitosis and meiosis for both plant and animal cells. The ultimate objective is to divide the parent cell into daughter cells.


In plants , this occurs when a cell wall forms in between the daughter cells.This extracellular structure is responsible for helping give plants their form, and must be established when a cell divides. To do this, plants use microtubule spindle structures knowns as phragmoplasts.

In animals , this occurs when a cleavage furrow forms. This pinches the cell in half. The final process of cytokinesis in animal cells is abscission.
