Cytokinesis in Animal Cells
cytokinesis What is cytokinesis? With the help of neat sketches, show how cytokinesis differs in a plant cell and animal cell This is also often known as cytoplasmic division or cell cleavage Cytokinesis begins in anaphase in animal cells and prophase in plant cells
Past studies of cytokinesis in plants and animals have suggested that two key processes, contractile ring func- tion and membrane addition at the cell Abstract Cytokinesis is the final process of cell division cycle that properly separates cytoplasmic components and duplicated nuclei into two daughter cells
Cytokinesis is the final stage of cell division During cytokinesis, the cytoplasm splits in two and the cell divides, as shown below In animal cells, the In plants the process of cytokinesis happens through the formation of a cell plate, whereas in animals it involves a furrow which deepens to
