Question

What is cytokinesis and how does it occur in plant cells and animal cells?

Answer 1

Hi there,

Cytokinesis is the process in which the cytoplasm of a single eukaryotic cell is divided to form two daughter cells.

This is how it occurs:

Animal cells: divide by a cleavage furrow

Plant Cells: divide by a cell plate that eventually becomes the cell wall.

Hope this helped :)

Have a great day
