Question:

How does cytokinesis happen in plants and in animals?

Author: Rebeca Lorena Arce Fonseca



Answer:

In animal cells, a cleavage furrow forms using actin and myosin (contractile proteins) and is pinched off to form the two genetically identical cells. In plant cells, vesicles fuse at the equator to create form tubular structures. These create a new membrane that will ultimately join the preexisting membrane of the daughter cell, and pinch off.
