Definition: Given a passage and a query based on the passage, generate an unambiguous, concise and simple answer to the query from information in the passage. Note that the answer may not be present in exact form.
Input: In animal cells cytokinesis occurs when a cleavage furrow (a groove in the cell surface) forms around the cell. This furrow narrows the cell across the centre and eventually p inches it into two new cells. In plant cells a cleavage furrow does not form. Instead a cell plate forms across the equator of the cell. The main difference between cytokinesis in animal cells and cytokinesis in plant cells is how the division occurs. In animal cells there is a formation of a cleavage furro w which gradually squeezes the cell in half. In plants cells they form a cell plate that gradually divides the cell in half. However, in all other cells, irrespective of whether they are plant cells or animal cells, cytokinesis is the method by which the cell divides into two. Advertisement Share This Plant vs Animal Cytokinesis Cell cycle involves events that occur from one cell division to the next cell division. This mainly involves in cell growth and cell division. In animal cells, division involves myosin and a contractile ring made of actin filaments. During cytokinesis, the role of the string is played by the contractile ring. Now, the contractile ring is composed of actin filaments that are assembled just below the cell membrane. Mitosis is followed by cytokinesis, the splitting of the cytoplasm . In cell division, a parent cell splits, producing two daughter cells that are identical to the parent. Eukaryotic unicellular organisms like the protist Amoeba use cell division in the production of new individuals, propagating their species. The cleavage furrow that divides an animal cell is also called a contractile ring. It is believed that the course taken by the narrowing contractile ring during cytokinesis is determined by the microtubules of the cell's mitotic spindle or positioned by a spatial cue taken from the cell's medial nucleus. How does cytokinesis differ in animal and plant cells? In animal cells cytokinesis occurs when a cleavage furrow (a groove in the cell surface) forms around the cell. This furrow narrows the cell across the centre and eventually p inches it into two new cells. In plant cells a cleavage furrow does not form. Instead a cell plate forms across the equator of the cell. Best Answer: plants have a cell wall that divides the cell into two new cells animal cells are split with protine strands to form two new cells Answers. 1 well from my knowledge, cytokinesis in an animal cell- in an animal cell the cell membrane is drawn inward until the cytoplasm is pinched into 2 nearly equal parts. each part that has been divided has a nucleus and organelles. Query: how does cytokinesis differ in plants and animals
Output:
The main difference between cytokinesis in animal cells and cytokinesis in plant cells is how the division occurs.
