Cytokinesis can take place in a number of ways. In most animal cells, the cell membrane is drawn inward until the cytoplasm is pinched into 2 equal parts. Each part contains it's own nucleus and cytoplasmic organelles. However, in plants, a strucutre known as the cell plate forms midway between the divided nuclei. The cell plate gradually develops into a separating membrane.

In human and animal cells, cytokinesis involves the cytoplasm and cell membrane pinching itself in two, called the cleavage furrow, forming 2 "daughter" cells. In plants, cytokinesis involves the formation of a cell plate. Basically the cell elongates a little, and then grows a new cell wall right down the middle, effectively dividing the cell.

How are animal cells and human cells different?

Human cells and animal cells may have a very slight difference but they are similar in most ways. Humans are classified as animals and thus have an animal cell.


Do human cells undergo mitosis and cytokinesis?

No. There are certain organisms that do not go through cytokinesis and the resulting phenomena is that the organisms cells will contain more than one nucleus (aka multinucleated)

Somatic cells are body cells and therefore replicate by mitosis giving them the diploid number 46, so there are 23 pairs at the end of cytokinesis.
