Answer:
Cytokinesis in animal cells occur by cleavage while in plants it occurs through the formation of a cell plate.
Step-by-step explanation:
- Cytokinesis refers to the process through which the cytoplasm divide in animal and plant cells.
- It occurs after the division of the nucleus.
- Cytokinesis in animal cells differs from that in plant cells in that, in animal cells it occurs by cleavage while in plant cells cytokinesis occurs through the formation of a cell plate.
- In animal cells, cleavage occurs as a result of the activity of actin and myosin which results to dividing of cytoplasm in to two.
- In plant cells, cell plate is formed by the fusion of golgi bodies on the equator which will generate cell wall and the plasma membrane between daughter cells.
