Cytokinesis occurs differently in animal and plant cells. In animal cells, the cell membrane is drawn inward until the cytoplasm is pinched into two equal parts. In plants, a cell plate forms midway between the divided nuclei and gradually separates the two. A cell wall then begins to appear in the cell plate.

the cytoplasm divides during the cell cycle, during mitosis, and during the final stage of mitosis, which is telophase. Telophase contains the cytokinesis process, where the cytoplasm splits and the two new daughter cells separate. In an animal cell, a cleavage furrow forms in between the two forming cells, as the cell membrane pinches in, but in a plant cell, cytokinesis forms a cell plate in between the cells, which eventually grows into a new cell wall so the cells can separate.
