Contrast cytokinesis in plant and animal cells?

Answer 1

Animal cells have a ring of actin microfiliments called the "contractile ring" which constricts around the cell. This produces a groove in the cell surface where the cell will eventually be pinched into 2 daughter cells, each with a nucleus containing an identical set of chromosomes.

Plant cells have a double membrane called the "cell plate" which forms at the same place as an old metaphase plate. A new cell wall is then made between the 2 membranes of the cell plate.

Shortened: An animal cell pinches off to create 2 cells each with their own set of chromosomes, while a plant cell forms a cell plate that grows and splits into 2 cells each with a plasma membrane.

Answer 2

In an animal cell the cell membrane is drawn inward until the cytoplasm is pinched into two nearly equal parts In plant cell cytoplasm divides by the fornation of a cell plate,which extends across the entire equatorial plane untill the two daughter cells become seperated. In animals,cytoplasm divides by furrowing or inward pinching of a cell membrane resulting into two daughter cells. the two daughter cells which are formed are identical to thier parent cell in all respect.

Answer 3

In animal cells, a cleavage furrow forms and the cells pull apart.

In plant cells, a cell plate begins to form down the middle of the cell, eventually sealing into two separate cells.
