How is the cytokinesis of plant cell different from the animal cell during mitosis?​

Answer:

Cytokinesis is the final stage of cell division in eukaryotes as well as prokaryotes. In animal cells, the plasma membrane of the parent cell pinches inward along the cell's equator until two daughter cells form. In plant cells, a cell plate forms along the equator of the parent cell.

Answer:

a plant cell has a rigid cell wall however an animal cell does not. (more info below)

Step-by-step explanation:

Because a plant cells are surrounded by the rigid cell wall, it cannot use microfilaments to go through cytokinesis. Instead, it builds a cell plate in the middle of the cell to represent the division. An animal cell does not have this rigid structure, so it forms a cleavage furrow by pinching the cell in the middle with microfilaments. This will successfully divide the cell into two.

hooe this helped!
