Question

Which is the correct statement
Statememt 1- in animal cells, division of cytoplasm occurs by cell plate formation

Statement 2- During cytokinesis, cell plate formation starts at the periphery and then move inwards
​

Answer 1

Answer:

statement 2 is correct.

Answer 2

The division of cytoplasm in a cell cycle is called cytokinesis.

Explanation:

Both the statement is wrong.

1. In animal cells, cytokinesis is achieved by the formation of a furrow not cell plate formation. The cell plate formation occurs in plant cells. The furrow moves centripetally and ultimately joins in the centre dividing the cell cytoplasm into two.
2. This statement is also wrong. The cell plate formation occurs in plant cells. The cell plates start from the centre of the cell and move or grow centrifugally outwards to meet the lateral cell wall. It, therefore, divides the cell into two halves.
