It is the process in which the cytoplasm of a single eukaryotic cell is divided to form two daughter cells. It usually initiates during the late stages of mitosis, and sometimes meiosis, splitting a binucleate cell in two, to ensure that chromosome number is maintained from one generation to the next. In animal cells, one notable exception to the normal process of cytokinesis is oogenesis (the creation of an ovum in the ovarian follicle of the ovary), where the ovum takes almost all the cytoplasm and organelles, leaving very little for the resulting polar bodies, which then die. In plant cells, a dividing structure known as the cell plate forms across the centre of the cytoplasm and a new cell wall forms between the two daughter cells.
Cytokinesis is the division of cytoplasm.
Cytokinesis is distinguished from the prokaryotic process of binary fission.

How do cell that do not undego cytokinesis differ in appearance from cell that do undergo cytokinesis?
Cells that do not undergo cytokinesis will have multiple nuclei, while cells that do undergo cytokinesis will have only one nucleus.
How is cytokinesis different in plants and animlas?
Cytokinesis happens at the cell plate in the plant cell It happens at the ceavage furrow in the animal cell.... The only similarity is that it is the microtubules shortening and tightning until itll eventually pinch the mother cell into two identical daughter cells
The pinching in of the cell membrane in animal cells is called?
cytokinesis
What types of cells which would form a cell plate during cytokinesis human skin cell animal cell plant cell or an amoeba?
In plant cell, cell plate is formed during cytokinesis.
Cytokinesis is evident in animal cells when?
When constriction occurs around the cell's equator
How do cell that do not undego cytokinesis differ in appearance from cell that do undergo cytokinesis?
Cells that do not undergo cytokinesis will have multiple nuclei, while cells that do undergo cytokinesis will have only one nucleus.
Do animal cells undergo cytokinesis?
Yes.
How is plant cell mitosis and animal cell mitosis the same?
Both divide the replicated DNA into two separate nuclei, and they both undergo cytokinesis to divide the cell, though the process is different in both.
How is cytokinesis different in plants and animlas?
Cytokinesis happens at the cell plate in the plant cell It happens at the ceavage furrow in the animal cell.... The only similarity is that it is the microtubules shortening and tightning until itll eventually pinch the mother cell into two identical daughter cells
Does animals cells lack cytokinesis?
Animal cells do undergo cytokinesis, which is the main step in mitosis and meiosis.during cytokinesis the cytoplasm (with doubled nuclei and organelles) of a cell splits equally into two daughter cells. one exceptional case in animal cell is that during oogenesis the ovum takes the major part of the cytoplasm and all organelles, giving a very small amount to the polar bodies.
How is cytokinesis in cells similar to cytokinesis is animal cells?
Cytokinesis happens at the cell plate in the plant cell It happens at the ceavage furrow in the animal cell.... The only similarity is that it is the microtubules shortening and tightning until itll eventually pinch the mother cell into two identical daughter cells
The pinching in of the cell membrane in animal cells is called?
cytokinesis
What function in cell divisions and are only in the animal cells?
Cytokinesis
What types of cells which would form a cell plate during cytokinesis human skin cell animal cell plant cell or an amoeba?
In plant cell, cell plate is formed during cytokinesis.
What do you call the plant cell?
It is the same as animal cell division, mitosis followed by cytokinesis.
How many chromosomes are in newly divided cell?
Normal amount unless the cell has yet to undergo cytokinesis, in which case it will have double the amount of chromosomes.
In the process of cytokinesis cleavage furrows are associated with what cell?
Animal cells!
