Cytokinesis
The cytoplasmic division in plants is facilitated by a mechanism called cytokinesis. During cytokinesis, the cytoplasm of the cell is divided to form two daughter cells following the completion of nuclear division. This process is essential for the successful completion of cell division in plants.
Nuclear duplication (mitosis) and cytoplasmic division (cytokinesis)
Cytoplasmic division of animal cells is accomplished through a process called cytokinesis, which follows nuclear division (mitosis). During cytokinesis, the cytoplasm divides by forming a cleavage furrow, which pinches the cell in two. The furrow is formed by a ring of actin and myosin filaments contracting and pulling the cell membrane inward.
Cytoplasmic Division is the process in which the plasma membrane around the middle of the cell is drawn inwards to form a cleavage furrow. This gradually deepens until the cell is split into 2.
In plant cells, a cell plate is formed during cytoplasmic division (cytokinesis) to separate the two daughter cells. This process differs from animal cells where a cleavage furrow forms during cytokinesis to physically pinch the cell in two.
The cytoplasmic division is referred to as cytokinesis. It is the final stage of cell division where the cytoplasm of the cell is divided into two daughter cells following the separation of the nucleus.
No, cytoplasmic division begins in the last phase of Mitosis, telophase, and completes during cytokinesis.
In cytokinesis, the cytoplasm of a cell is divided to form two separate daughter cells after nuclear division (mitosis or meiosis). This process ensures that each daughter cell receives a portion of the organelles and cytoplasm required for its proper functioning.
The result is a cell with two nuclei, called a multinucleated cell.
Cytokinesis
Cytokinesis is the division of cells in plants. In animals, it is called Mitosis. Mitosis has several phases, and in the end, there are four new daughter cells.
The cell being observed is likely a eukaryotic cell undergoing cytokinesis. The formation of a contractile ring just prior to cytoplasmic division is a key step in the process of separating the cytoplasm into two daughter cells. This contractile ring consists of actin and myosin filaments that contract to pinch the cell in two.
