Question

Cytokinesis in animals occurs through the formation of a ________,whereas in plants a ________ forms.
A) cleavage furrow; cell plate
B) cell plate; cleavage furrow
C) cleavage furrow; kinetochore
D) kinetochore; cell plate

Accepted Answer

In animal cells, cytokinesis occurs through the formation of a cleavage furrow, which is a contractile ring made up of actin and myosin filaments that constricts the cell membrane, ultimately separating the two daughter cells. In contrast, in plant cells, cytokinesis occurs through the formation of a cell plate, which is a structure derived from Golgi vesicles that fuses with the pre-existing cell wall, forming a new cell wall between the daughter cells.
