BlakeYes, cytokinesis is different in plant and animal cells. In animal cells, cytokinesis involves a process called cleavage furrow formation, where the cell membrane pinches inwards to divide the cell into two daughter cells. In plant cells, a structure called the cell plate forms in the middle of the cell and expands outwards to create a new cell wall, ultimately dividing the cell into two daughter cells.

How is cytokinesis in plants cells different to cyokinesis in aminal cells?
In plant cells cell plate is formed.In animal cells cleavage furrow occurs.
Do all eukaryotes same cytokinesis?
No, eukaryotes can have different methods of cytokinesis. In animal cells, cytokinesis involves the cleavage of the cell membrane to form two daughter cells. In plant cells, a cell plate forms between the daughter nuclei to separate the two cells.
What structure do plant cells have during cytokinesis that animal cells do not have?
Plant cells have a cell plate that forms during cytokinesis, while animal cells form a cleavage furrow. The cell plate is made of vesicles carrying cell wall components that fuse at the division plane to form a new cell wall. This structure is unique to plant cells and allows them to complete cell division without pinching in like animal cells do.
How are animal cells different from plant cells-?
Animal cells are different from plant cells in that the cell wall of animal cells is not made up of cellulose.
How is cytokinesis diffrent in a plant cell and an animal cell?
In plant cells, cytokinesis involves the formation of a cell plate due to the presence of a rigid cell wall, while in animal cells, cytokinesis involves the formation of a cleavage furrow that pinches the cell into two. Plant cells also have unique structures called phragmoplasts that aid in cell plate formation during cytokinesis, which animal cells lack.
