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 a new membrane that will ultimately join the preexisting membrane of the daughter cell, and pinch off.
