During Which Process Would a Cell Plate Form

Question

During which process would a cell plate form?
A) cytokinesis in an animal cell
B) cytokinesis in a plant cell
C) mitosis in an animal cell
D) mitosis in a plant cell

Accepted Answer

A cell plate forms during cytokinesis in a plant cell. In plant cells, a new cell wall must be synthesized between the two daughter cells, and this is accomplished by forming a cell plate from the Golgi apparatus. In contrast, in animal cells, a contractile ring of actin and myosin filaments forms and pinches the cell membrane inward to divide the cytoplasm in a process called cleavage.
