Question

How does cytokinesis in plant cells differ from cytokinesis in animal cells?

animal cells form a cell plate



plant cells form a cell plate



plant cells go through the process in reverse



plant cells go through two rounds of cytokinesis while animal cells just do once

Answer 1

During cytokinesis in animal cells, a ring of actin filaments forms at the metaphase plate. The ring contracts, forming a cleavage furrow, which divides the cell in two. In plant cells, Golgi vesicles coalesce at the former metaphase plate, forming a phragmoplast.
