Question

Distinguish between cytokenensis in plant and animal cell

Answer 1

Cytokinesis in plant cell :

1] Cytokinesis in plant cell takes place by the formation of cell plate.

2] The cell plate extends and divides the cytoplasm into two daughter cells.

3] Cell plate further forms the middle lamella between the two neighbouring daughter cells.

Cytokinesis in animal cells :

1] Cytokinesis in animal cell does not takes place by the formation of cell plate.

2] The plasma membrane forms the furrow which is deepened down forming two daughter cells.

3] In animal cells the middle lamella is not formed between the two neighbouring daughter cells.
