How is cytokinesis in plant cells similar to cytokinesis in animal cells?

Asked by sciencecrazy1

Answer (2)

In plant cell there is no cleavage or constriction ; instead there is a cell plate formation followed by cell wall formation .

In animal cell there is a cleavage of the cytoplasm between the two daughter nuclei and a constriction separates the two cells . There is no cell plate / cell wall formation .

Cytokinesis in both plant and animal cells aims to divide the cytoplasm to form two daughter cells after mitosis. Although the mechanisms differ, they share similarities in objective, timing, and the involvement of microtubules. Both processes are crucial for ensuring that daughter cells function properly.
