How does cytokinesis in plant cells differ from that in animals cells ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Cytokinesis in plant cells occurs by a process different from that seen in animal cells. In plant cells, a cell plate is laid down which is usually initiated at the centre and extends towards the periphery. After the cell plate is laid down, primary walls are formed on either side of the cell plate. Whereas in animal cells, a cleavage furrow appears at the beginning of telophase, which becomes progressively deeper as the spindle breaks down. Eventually the ingrowing constrictions join and separate two daughter cells.
